guy I know him personally, and I've never had problems with him.. aside from scheduling and stuff like that.. he's a good guy and honest

first off, who did you talk to? Raymond? Ivan? and who did all your work? was it either of em? or the aprentice that works there?

I can vouch for Raymond, he's a good guy.. not too sure bout Ivan, and the apprentice though

sorry for bumping this thread up but I need to know where I can get an alignment done, Ive searched and found good reviews bout Gilman Auto but when this thread came up I was a bit hesitant.
Does Anyone know whre I can get an alignment done? Besides Dufferin Dupont, its really too far from where I live. I'm around the markham scarborough area, any reccomendations? I need an alignment the car is lowered also

thanks

Joker

First off, this should now be in the "Buyer/Seller" feedback forum (since we now have one).

Second, most Crappy Tires are not set up to do a proper alingment job on a lowered vehicle. I would take it to a dedicated shop that does this sort of thing. They have the tools and the know how to do it the right way.

My 2C's.
