Alignment needed (North Jersey)

YngPhllyKd · 04-14-2011, 03:17 PM

Hey folks,

I recently moved from the Philly area to North Jersey. I'm in Scotch Plains in between Union and Plainfield. Can anyone recommend a good shop to get an alignment done on my 2010 335i Coupe? Pot holes around here are rather frequent...kind of annoying if you ask me!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I just got a lifetime alignment package at the firestone in Livingston.

They do a pretty good job.

i heard firestone has a $150 LIFETIME (life of car) alignment... gonna look into this because these roads SUCK and thats a SICK deal considering i paid 150 for ONE alignment!

The shop that put my wheels on mentioned that Sears Auto in Livingston does an alignment on beemers as well. I think its $75 but i haven't been there yet so not sure how they are.

I went to STS tires in Oakland NJ yesterday and he said they CAN do bmw alignments HOWEVER BMW recommends weights in the front and back so he said he can do them WITHOUT the weights BUT cant guarantee that it would be aligned "correctly to bmw spec"

I've used Eurosport in Westfield. They worked on my '06 e90 330xi and '03 e39 M5. Just bought a brand new 2011 e92 335i coupe w/6MT & M sports package. Eurosport is an indy shop and Sean is the owner. He strikes me as honest and hard working. Not the most glamorous place and I wish they were neater in terms of not leaving behind dirty finger prints and shoe marks, etc., but they do a very good job at great prices. They outsource alignment to a shop in Garwood and my experience has always been very good.

i think i'll probably end up taking it to BMW to get it done the right way. At least i know the job will be guaranteed and it's done to BMW standards.

Performance Tire in Ridgewood is good but they're so busy so you need to call and schedule an appt first. If you need something for race/non-street specs, I'd hit up NE Motorsports:
