Did a quick forums search and didn't find previous info on this...

Any of you MINI folks out there had a "successful" alignment? If so, where? This is not for us; we're still running the original one we got from Sturdivant's which did almost nothing from what it came with. Kathy Morris is asking for a local relative and wants to know if there's any place to go other than the dealer. Sturdivant's had a hard time even *trying* to do our alignment, saying they needed some special tool they didn't have.

Brad at Digital Chassis had a hard time getting anything extra camber wise up front. But everyhting else wasn't an issue.

Emmie, See Mark at Hubcap Heaven. He straightened up the mess that was left after the accident, centered the steering and added what ever toe in/out I called for. I watched him do it and there are NO special tools required. anyone telling you they need special tools is off base, way off base. Besides the great alignment he's a sponsor.

Thanks for the responses. I've passed them along to Kathy.
