    Hey dudes!

    I just picked up a Mini Cooper S for my wife. Problem is, the rear has a camber issue. The insides of the tires are much more worn than the outsides.

    Anybody have a recommendation for a decent place? I don't want to go to Tires Plus, Sears, Fleet Farm ect....

    Thanks!

    -Tom

      Valley Alignment and Repair in the Moorhead Industrial Park. Always have treated me right on what I have brought there, and very reasonable prices.

      PM me for:
      Sandblasting(I use glass beads)
      Diesel repairs or performance products.

        Tire wear issues are generally from toe issues, not camber.

          A1 Automotive in Moorhead. Its just down the street from valley alignment. I brought my car to Valley and they told me that they couldn't align it due to it being lowered. Then they directed me to A1 down the street. I've always heard great things about Valley but A1 did a great job.

            I guess we'll find out:P I'd think if it was a toe issue the entire tire would be worn?

                I've gone to Dan's Service Center just north of Corwin Honda for my last 2 cars. They've treated me very well both times. A 4 wheel alignment on most cars I believe is $69.99. That's how much my last 2 were anyway, and my most recent one was just a couple weeks ago.

                  You were correct, the rear toe was too far out
