alignment

[audispeed]

what is a good place for an alignment? preferably the closest place to downtown dc. thanks.

Go to Funktion Auto.

got mine done at HBL in Tysons. it was $90 for me at the time. might wanna call to check pricing.

[audispeed]

thanks guys

[Klum00]

HBL has the cheapest prices...

[audispeed]

do they do a good job? can i sit there while they do it?

[krazyboi]

i think so. i have yet to have issues after getting mine done. i mean for one thing, its an audi dealer so they know the car!

as far as sitting there, i think it might take over an hour...but not too sure.

[Slow4]

Its my turn to find a spot to get my car aligned. I'm not sure if my care really needs an alignment, all I know is my right side shakes when it hits 60+, and kinda veers to the right (slightly)

So now to find an alignment shop that works after 5

Currys = 165
NTB = 109 or 159 (1yr guarantee)
HBL = 109 (i just need to find a good time)

Any other suggestions...

[krazyboi]

I took mine to HBL. I thought NTB has a lifetime alignment as well?!?!

Like I said in the first time around, give funktion auto a call, you won't be disappointed

^^^ i might have to take you up on this once i get my coils installed/settled

I'm going to have to now.

Well, I took my car to Currys since it was the ONLY place that could fit in my packed schedule...and learned that I don't need an alignment at all!

That minor vibration and pulling to the right is all caused by a broken right upper control arm...hence the vibrating and pulling to the right!

Now to look around for control arms, CV boots, and rear diff axel seals...

Don't forget to check the classifieds, lately there have been some nice ones for a good price

Doh! sorry to hear about the CA.

I took my car to induktion for alignment.

[NOVAS4]

We actualy utilize Mike's Auto, our next door neighboor. They are great people to deal with that care as much as we do.
Although you can speak with them directly, we charge the same thing.
Ultimately many prefer to just drop the car off with us so their invoice is in our system.
Generally the price is $129.00 unless your car has some serious optional adjustments in which case expect to pay $159.00 They have a state of the art laser machine. One benefit is that they will take your lowered car. Many allignment shops will not work on lowered cars.

If you would like to sschedule an appointment, please call us ahead of time!

Thanks good to know. I've heard that it's nice to have people who have dealt w/ Quattro. Is this true? If so, I assume Mike's Auto has.

Also, what are their hours. If I wanted to get an alignment done, I'd like to take it up on a Friday evening on my way to PA, wait for it to complete, then be on my way. Is this feasible?

[TRANS4M]

you could call them and ask directly? noob!

[alex@4induktion]

I'd be more than happy to find out but they like to be gone by 5 and they would probably wnat your car by 3pm. They have aligned at least 10-15 audis in the last 2 weeks for us. So far no issues or complaints.

COULD!!! but asking others to find out is easier
