Don't waste your time at Westcoast Alignment...

Post by delicat »

I've been three times to Westcoast Alignment off Powell St. in Vancouver to get the alignment done on my Delica and it just was never right. Steering wheel wouldn't be centered...

Joined Pedro today at Dale's Alignment in Langley (198 and 56th Ave) and the final bill was cheaper and the service waaaaaaaay better. Basically, it's all computer done (shows you exactly your camber, toes...) so no room for error while at Westcoast, well that's just not the case.

Just thought I'd bump the info, worth the drive.

I also went to Dale's alignment a few months back and it was right the FIRST time. Quick service, no complaints.

That's why I always take my customers cars to Dale's. Very good and they have the specs on almost every vehicle in the world. Dale (owner who's son's run the shop now) and I used to go golfing together a lot. Great guy who's built a great family business. Darrell and Jason are his son's.
Jeff is another quality guy that works there. he has the big jacked up Jeep Cherokee that you
see in the parking lot. Kevin, is another tech there and he's been there since he could turn wrenches. All of them capable nice guys.

I ended up going to a place on the North Shore called Chen Auto Clinic, on Pemberton. Their number is: 604-987 1525. They typically charge $79. I believe they are still investigating specs for the Delica, in particular the castor. I reckon they are honest and my tyres are no longer feathering.
