Any recommended alignment shops in Northern Virginia?

[duweeee]

Good Morning!

I've had many bad experiences with alignments over the years. One performance car shop did not tighten the bolts during alignment causing my car to be wobble afterwards and another general auto shop place faking that they did the alignment by printing out results from another car.

I'm installing coilovers and looking for recommendations for a shop that will do alignment including camber adjustments and corner balancing on Teslas.

Thank You

Which model? For 3/Y, I suggest AMPM up in Maryland.

For Model S/X, no idea. I'm also looking for someone experienced

This alignment will be for a Model 3

Did you ever find a shop in NOVA for the Model S work? Looking for a place to do the Macsboost shims…

I just got quoted $406.50 for shim kit install and 4 wheel alignment. PTuning in Manassas. Will report back after the work is done.

I’ll add that their online pricing and services list mentions corner balancing.

Scroll down and expand the alignment section.

Please report back once you get it done! I've heard of them but haven't made the trek out there

I had a bad experience with P-Tuning a few years back with their alignment and corner balance.

I ended up going with Moore Automotive.

Would you mind elaborating please? I’m scheduled with them for next week…

I had a bad experience with too. I had them install lowering springs from Unplugged performance.

What constitutes a bad experience? Just looking for what to pay attention to…

Had my Ptuning appointment today. Got the Macsboost shims installed and an alignment. Had issues with the front camber adjustment - possibly identifying an issue with the suspension and/or air leveling. Tesla appointment upcoming to sort it out.

Anyhow, they know Teslas and claim to be an N2itive approved shop - and that they’ve done these on Plaids. Good experience.
