Wheel alignment machine?
« 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 put the Claytons Long arm kit on my ZJ and have been wan ting to get it on an alignment to see if the rear 4 link is setup right. Feels like its dog tracking a bit. Is the machine still set up?

I paid 95 last year for one, so thats an awesome deal. I would definitely go your route if I needed another.

Where would it be located? I'd probably be interested and could probably send some to you as well.

At $60 a pop (especially if you're available evenings and weekends) you'll have my business.

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.

Roger that. Acadia is even better for me - I'm in Lake Bonavista!

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.

Go ahead and put another tick on the chalkboard...I'd be over whenever I need one and I would recommend to friends.
