    Re: Where to get an alignment in the atlanta area?

    Butler Tire do a lot of Audis, and many local Chapter (ACNA) folks go there. They have several stores, but we frequent the one on Powers Ferry-
    106 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Marietta, GA‎ - (770) 973-8622‎

    You'll see a lot of high end wheels there, and even some exotics.

    I've used the NTB in Kennesaw for my TTQC because I have adjustable lower control arms on it. The tech (John) and I go back a ways, so I know he knows what I want from it. He is 30+, and VERY meticulous about my track and performance setups. They're in the shopping complex next to the Outback right off Barrett: they're not immdediately visible from Barrett, but circle in where Barrett Lakes Boulevard goes N intyo Cobb Place. Another reference point is they're in the same lot as the Hobbytown.

    PS- join us at Cherokee Chapter ACNA and see what the local AUdi club uis doing. We are pretty active: weekly tech meets at a local shop, drive this mornig from the Cracker Barrel aty I-75/Chastain up to Chattanooga to see about a roll cage and visit a VERY nuce local park. We've got big social events in May, and a great HODE (track day) scheduled in the fall. Would love to meet you.

    There is a monthly BIG car show at Avenues East Cobb on every 1st Sunday. We also G2G there, and you'll see everything from Porsches to Plymouths, Ferraris to 34 Fords.

    Where I live no one seems to be able to align my car. Is there a special tool they have to use to get the camber in spec? i think it shifts the subframe???

    A mechanics spud is all they need to shift the subframe. A good feel for how much comes with experience, but common tools and a good alignment machine drive the process.

    Well I took it to one place and they claimed a special tool was needed for the subframe, a tool they did not have. So I guess I will call around tomorrow to some other places. Thanks

    really? a special tool? I just got mine done by a non-audi specialist place. I wonder if he has this special tool. Hate to see my new tires wear out unevenly...

    No "special tools"- they may not have a good rack with the rack they can slide under it (e.g.: Hunter).

    Butler or Kaufman
