I really don't know where to take my 914 to get an alignment for street use. Is there a shop around Orange county Ca. anyone would recommend? It's a V-8 car with a 930 trans.

if you can make the drive to riverside, there is a guy that most of the Riverside PCA use...

otherwise
Hergesheimer (sp?) in lake forest...

Call Steve Aven at 714-637-1234! Located in Orange, California.

Bud's Tire & Wheel.....Riverside, CA......Manny is the alignment king on Teeners.

I hope you chose #2...........Joe College...

Thanks guys,
the shops I went to just look at the car and began spilling out excuses for why they couldn't work on it.
I admit its a bit of a load to drive but I always drive it on the equipment and road test the car for them..
Thanks again!

I use Grand Prix on Newport Blvd. There's a guy there who knows 914's.949-645-7022
Used to go to Ray Steven's place- near 16th and Placentia. A porsche garage.He's in the phone book

I use:
Clark's House Of Suspension
26901 Vista Ter, Lake Forest, CA 92630
(949) 768-6261

The guy's good and is totally familiar with p-cars. He's done both of mine to my specs. It is worth noting that he no longer has a big collection of rear alignment shims for 914s so take your own (Zims in Texas has them). He also does not turn a knuckle-headed high school drop out lose on your car. There's a good chance he'll do the work himself. He also keeps appointments and works on time.

Later,
Kevin

Does clark do suspension upgrades and lowering too?

Steve's uses Accurate Alignment in Orange, California. He has had my cars (914-6) done there with very favorable results.

I don't know I've never asked. I do that stuff DIY.

How long should a good all wheel alignment take if it's done by someone who knows the car?

Is it a drop off in the morning and come back at 5 or could you wait for it?

Hergesheimers did a 4 wheel alignment and corner balance on my car before I sold it.
It made a world of diference in the cornering.
