Services
Precision Alignments
Our alignment services use Hunter Engineering R811P systems to measure and adjust suspension angles to factory specifications. We check ball joints, tie-rod ends, and bushings before making adjustments. Performance alignments optimize handling for track or street use with options for ride height and corner weight adjustments. Printouts document before/after specifications.
Road Force Balancing
This service uses Hunter GPS9723-05 machines to simulate road forces and measure tire/wheel irregularities. Corrections are made to eliminate vibration that causes premature wear. Non-lead weights are used, and all assemblies are torqued to factory specifications with calibrated tools. Nitrogen fill available upon request.
Fabrication Services
Our fabrication capabilities include CNC machining, MIG/TIG welding, and plasma cutting. We work with aluminum and stainless steel using Proto Trak equipment and StrongHand setup tables. Services cover differential case spreaders, custom brackets, exhaust systems, and one-off performance components for racing and street applications.
Suspension Repair
We diagnose and repair suspension components including struts, shocks, control arms, and bushings. Our technicians identify wear patterns causing handling issues or uneven tire wear. Repairs follow factory specifications using quality replacement parts with proper torque application to maintain vehicle safety and performance.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Our PPI service thoroughly examines vehicles for mechanical condition, alignment issues, and hidden damage. Technicians assess suspension wear, drivetrain health, and safety systems. Reports help buyers make informed decisions about performance cars or daily drivers needing potential repairs.
