Hey Guys,

I'm going to Jimmy to have my springs look at again after install one side is higher then other ...

And after that I would like to get Alignment done ...
Any good places ?

I'm on K-Sports 1.2 Drop - no cambers ....

So I need someone who will like to make it right ...as good as he can ...

Any recommendations ?

Thank You!

Call Forbes Mazda, see if they can do it, since they are an affiliate dealership.
A reasonable price will be between $80 to $100. (alignment for all-four corners).

Good to know, but what is your pricing like Karen? Dealers are usually significantly more expensive for alignment services, which is why most go to Altech or others. Also, can you/will you accomodate lowered vehicles? Many dealers will not/cannot.

If the lowered vehicle does not have a rear camber kit, there is no point in going for an alignment. Only with a camber kit can the rear be adjusted.

A 4 wheel alignment is $99.88 plus tax, with the TM3 discount it works out to $84.88 plus taxes.

I've already done a few TM3 members alignments and so far no reason I would not be able to accommodate. Yes, some were lowered and had camber kits....if your car can be driven on my rack, I'd be happy to perform the service for you!

Are you sure about that price for an alignment? Here in Belleville Bay Mazda charges $84.95 + tax for a 4 wheel alignment...I thought all dealers charge the same price??

Most commonly, the front or rear toe is out -causing the alignment to be required... Darn potholes!

Without a camber kit I would still recommend an alignment, Why chance uneven tire wear? Ami is correct, the rear camber can not be adjusted without installing a rear camber kit

Varies according to the location. I am in the GTA, most dealers in the GTA charge $119 as do quite a few CDN tires, I know, because I price shop for ya ;)

unfortunately, due to demographics, quite a few things are cheaper in Belleville, because it's about 2 hours away from the GTA, isn't it?

Karen, is the price you quoted for alignment above applicable to cars with rear camber links as well?

So your labour rates is $99.88 an hour?
Cause my dealer labour rates is $84.95 an hour

I was told that all mazda dealers must charge the same price...and this is what i was told by my dealer a while ago.

Different dealers depending on location charge different rates for labour. A dealer in downtown TO, charges more than one in Scarborough, who charges more than one in Belleville. All dependent on the local competition.

Nope, it's $95, but most everything is overseen by Mazda
