Anyone know of any alignment shops around Burlington/Oakville/Mississauga?

My Alignment may be out causing issues with my tires buldging since this is the 2nd tire on the same wheel, the mech. today said try to get it checked for free to see if it's out of alignment. So if anyone knows of a place that would check it for free, a name/number and address would be appriciated.

In Canadian tire flyer this week on page 25, there is a special on tie rods, ball joints, endlinks, etc. In that picture there is also a mention of:
Free front end inspection - product # 98-7116

Give em a call to see what they check exacltly.

I need the rear end toe checked, but thanks, I'll look at it, although I will not trust Crappy tire to do a good job.

Alright, I got an email back from a guy in the company I work at, he's heavy into Auto X and this is what he sent me in case someone in the GTA area needs to know of a place

For a "factory spec" type alignment on a relatively stock car... www.wheelandtirezone.com is good - and fairly local

For a "performance / custom alignment" with you in the car - Avtar Alignment is great and cheap

For a custom alignment with corner-weighting of coilovers, etc... can-alignment.com is great.

I'd reccomend any of them depending on what you need.
If it's just bad rear toe that's causing tire wear issues... WTZ is likely the way to go.

I always get my work done at IAC - I think they're special is $69 or something for 4 wheel alignment...I THINK. I have the flyer somewhere, just not handy. They are in Mississauga - Derry/Tomken area. Their number eludes me right now, but you can check it on Canada 411 or something - long form of IAC - International Automotive and Custom...tell em I sent ya! The chance of you getting a free alignment or a relatively cheap one....well....you get what you pay for.

I wasn't looking for a free alignment, I was just looking for them to check for free, then if it wasn't aligned I know I would have to pay.
