Anyone know a good alignment shop in North Jersey? - Honda Prelude Forum

I need to find one quick. I've read too many bad reviews of almost all of Nissan dealers around me so I guess I am looking for an alignment specialty shop. I don't want something like 'well I've never done one of these before but this ought to do it' kind of place

lol. I have visibly negative camber in the rear so I need to see how much of it can be taken out before ordering a camber kit. Thanks.

I don't know how far up North you are but the STS here in Central Jersey on RT 18 does wonders on an SH Prelude; and we all know how many shops have trouble aligning them.

Do they have an in ground lift for lowered cars by chance?

I don't remember, I was stock at the time, but they are one of the few shops that does lowered cars. PO SN: Tony recommended them to me. I'll stop by again when I'm in the area.

I got my car aligned at the STS in somerville, NJ near bridgewater and they did it perfectly....i'm lowered more than 1.5"

I assume most of these places know how to adjust camber kits? Thanks for the reponse guys, I don't really want to have to buy new rear tires.

Young my place in River Vale can do it for you.

Didn't even see this post until now. Do you know the hours on Saturday and the approximate cost for the camber and toe adjustment? I am guessing it will be more than a regular alignment so around $150ish?

Sorry Young, I don't come in here as often anymore.
Their hours are from 8 - 2PM on Saturdays but you can go there before 8 and they'll usually take you.
I do not know what the costs would be. They are very good and pretty reasonable when it comes to pricing. I and THATPRELUDEGUY always go there.
www.anitatire.com is the place.

I went to an alignment place on Saturday and the result was he didn't know how to adjust the camber using the camber kit. My front tires are -1.8 and -1.6. The range is -1.3 to .2. He was trying to tell me they were in spec lol. Then when I showed him that it wasn't in spec he told me it's on the borderline so I didn't have to worry about it. Apparently the shop does have one good person that knows it all but only works Tuesday - Friday.
