what is it about your fiero that escapes them?Not sure, there guy had never worked on a car that old nor with that much adjustment. My car has camber, caster and toe adjustment on both front a rear so its a bit tricky to set up. Ryan at tires plus on 13th ave has done the car 3 times in the last 3 years but still can't get it right. I need someone who will go the distance to make it right, I don't mind paying a bit if the car is done right.

I don't get how it's hard to align the 3 specs...I mean we did that in HS for christ's sake...

My concern with taking my Cobra in is finding someone that is going to work with the aftermarket caster/camber plates.

It can't be too difficult?? I mean how hard is it to adjust it a little bit, see what the computer says, and go from there...it just takes a little trial and error...

The concern I have with the plates I have now is to use the full range of adjustment the plate has to come apart and be rebuilt in a different configuration. -

I agree with the last part, though. I have never had a problem there, however, so I cant comment on their customer service in a situation where I have been unhappy with their work.

the thing that made me successful at getting my stuff aligned is that i knew where all the adjusters were on the car and hung out under the lift while they worked, to answer any questions that came up and to correct a few things.
they have the machine. You don't. think of it as you renting machine time from them. You're not really paying for their expertise if its a car setup they've never seen before...
if you have some kind of jackball camber plates that have to be taken apart to change, expect to explain it to them and/or do it yourself.
