Title: Wheel alignment machine?
Post by: 4PLAYZJ on April 08, 2009, 05:28:39 PM: Just a feeler thread guys.

I am contemplating selling my wheel alignment machine, that I used at my business, to help pay for the shop I am building. However I might keep it if there is some interest within the club for me to do some wheel alignments when my "boomstick" garage is completed. I would be looking to charge $60 for a four wheel alignment & be able to do it evenings & weekends.

Please let me know if there is some interest. Thanks. Will

I'd much rather bring my rig to someone that actually understands what wheeling is than some guy that's on his fourth year of being a second year apprentice.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not setup right now it is in storage, closed my business & went to work for the man. It would be setup in Acadia in a few months in my new garage.

It doesn't matter what trade you look at, there's always someone that never quite makes it to journeyman. In some cases, "quite" can be a long way off.

Post by: esi on July 05, 2009, 11:22:21 PM: Not to bring up old posts, but did this get up and going? I'm going to change out ball joints, trac bar, and all my steering consumables, and think a real wheel alignment would be wise after its all in. Thanks
