I went to Robert GTA on 7 near 14th...

I suggest that you go to the dealer. I had mine done at Robert GTA, and ended up going to the dealer for the real deal. Tried to save a couple bucks, ended up paying for it.... $80 for Roberts + $120 for dealer comes out to $200 for an alignment

At Robert GTA, they put my car to the machine, and I got a printout. My left driver rear tire was toe'd in... They ended up messing up my FRONT CAMBER/TOE to get my car to go straight! Basically, all 4 tires are messed, just so I could go straight... I asked them, why the hell are you adjusting the front to fix the rear? Well, they gave a BS answer....

I went to Acura in Markham (7/McCowan), and they fixed it up great. Gave ma a nice print out of before and after. Best part? They actually measured it before AND after. The punks at the cheap Chinese shop only did it before, and test drove it instead of running the machine again...

get it done right the first time!
