Moving to Calgary
« on: May 04, 2017, 09:40:08 AM »
Hello Everyone,

Some if you may know me already... Keith, #327 blue 05 sti.
I've been doing auto cross for 4 years in Edmonton and just moved to Calgary last week. I'm hoping to make it to as many events as possible between selling 2 houses, building a new house, and starting a new job.
Question for the calgary guys..
Where does everyone go for alignments & mounting/balancing?

I use Spec R (Kyle Ho) for all of my tire purchases, mounting, balancing, etc.

As for alignments, I am going to Haute AG this year.

I use Kyle Ho @ Spec R and Jackie @ Balance Auto Garage for most of my tire mounting and balancing needs.

Jackie also does all of my alignments.

Hey Keith, Like the members above Kyle is my guy as well, as a matter of fact there is some leftover GT-R stuff of mine in his shop that may be of interest to you. Paul

I've always had good luck with UrbanX for tire installs. They have a "touchless" Corghi tire machine that ensures your wheels don't get scratched/marred up. Traditionally I've went to Precision for alignments, they use the traditional clamp on rim targets. So if you have nice wheels, you may want to put stockers on for the alignment.

I've also heard good things about KUZZII Motorsports, newer shop. All new Hunter tire and alignment machines. One's that don't clamp on your rims. Also their alignment lift is built into the ground, so just about any ride height can drive right on.

This is who i use as well.

There are also many members that use "the car salon/tirecraft" for their mounting/balancing needs... very good people as well.
