best alignment I had was from big 4. I know others haven't had the same experience though. Compared to Kal Tire, the price was the same but the end product was way better.

Southside Frame and alignment
« Reply #2 on: January 02, 2006, 10:55:45 AM »
Southside frame and alignment has always done the best for me.  That is because it is all they do.  They are about 10 bucks more than a tire shop but they do better work.  I have no experience with big 4.  My sister in law had a cavileer with driveability problems, she had it in to kal tire three times to have aligned and tires balanced, they couldnt find the vibration and pulling problems.  Southside found the subframe, and three wheels bent.  I would guess the drivability problems came mostly form the girl behind the wheel that had no idea how to drive!!!!!! :twisted:  :twisted:

Hey Robb,  don't you mean "the only person I can BEG to touch my cars is...."

Just kidding Robb :lol:

 Whomever Robb recommends is good, or try Dandy Automotive in Airdrie, or Trio Motors behind Franklin Mall NE.

really?  why's that?  Fountain Tire by northhill (or northland... never remember those, by walmart/futureshop/new bestbuy coming/etc) has had rave reviews.

I believe each Fountain Tire is privately owned and I know the owners of Bowness and Northland are different owners.
