S4 Alignment in SE Michigan
« on: July 06, 2007, 10:26:25 AM »
I need an alignment on my 2001 S4, following tie rod end replacemnent.  Archives show that others were looking for a good alignment shop.  Assuming that you finally chose a place, what are your suggestions/recommendations?

I take my cars to Steve's European Auto for alignments.  Last I checked Autowerks didn't have an alignment rack.  Bruce's on Woodward near 14 mile used to be a good place for a cheap front end alignment, but he closed up shop a while ago.

Agreed, last time I knew, GMW didn't do alignments.  I haven't needed one, but if I did, I'd go to Steve's as well.

Auto Europe service in Birmingham is the best alignment in town.  Not the cheapest, but definitely the best.  Charles is the alignment man around here.

From what I can see they are the cheapest. :)
The dealer wants 262.99 (yes they actually charge 99 cents!) to do my quattro b5, steves wants 225 IIRC and auto europe (where I ended up going) was like 167.

as much as it pains me to say it....Auto Europe has the best alignments in town.  Steve's did a very poor job on my CQ so I would never go there again especially since they are also one of the most expensive places around.

This weekend I'm dropping my ride with Bilstein shocks and H&R sport springs.  A co-worker of mine who used to own an A4 and now has a M3 takes his to Sweedish Engineering (http://www.swedishengineering.com/) in A2.  I have an appointment there 10 am on Monday to get a  4 wheel alignement, cost is $95.

Do they know your car is an Audi quattro?  If yes that's a great price.

Yep they know it's quattro.  They took down all my vehicle info (model, year, engine, trans, etc) I'll let you know how it goes.

That is a phenomenal price.  Keep us updated as to how it went, and did they get the specs you wanted.  Remember to 0 out ur toe after the drop.  I had it it so bad, that i went through my tires super quick.

I had an alignment done at Steve's on my B6 quattro.  I don't remember it being very expensive.  Steve's is close to Stefan's that would be a +
