Alignment in CO?

I need to get an alignment done and figured I'd ask if anyone else has had one done here anywhere else besides the dealership. I know there is a "German Car specialist" off of Ken Caryl...anyone been there? Let me know!

Are you bone stock? If so, most shops can do it.

The shop in Ken Caryl (Autoworks Colorado) actually subs it out to Swis tire service.

I have a pretty modified suspension so I can't fit on most aligment racks. Many people in this area use Bimmerhaus in Broomfield. If you have an E36/E46, they are pretty good at it. I have to refrain from recommending them on the E90/E92 chassis because my experience was that they felt they knew better than the coilover manufacturer, despite the fact my car was the first E90/E92 they had ever touched.

In other words, I had to make THREE trips from South metro to Broomfield for them to set the suspension to the settings that I asked for from the beginning. These were settings that I had received from the manufacturer and had given to Bimmerhaus, in writing. As you can imagine, I was not happy driving up there 3x to get what I asked for the first time. The final straw was when they tried to charge me for "additional aligment!" even though I had requested it in writing, the first time I drove up there.

Rant Over.

I successfully used Goodyear Tire off of Arapahoe and Quebec. They got really really close to my requested specs...the first time I visited.

I went to Bimmerhaus with my E92 and they didn't want to help me at all. I litetally walk into the shop and stood there for 30 minutes before anyone said anything to me. They were just "slackin" off and talking to they phone with their hunnies. I asked them about tunes and they didn't have a clue? Just my experience.

I have the sport suspension but I have my 19s on right now. The Pep Boys next to my house is having a "sale".....I thought about it for a sec and then was like hell no. Does Swis tire have experience with e90s?
