I'm putting on a new set of tires today and want to have the wheels aligned a.s.a.p. Can anyone suggest a good alignment shop where your experience has been positive? I'm located in the Irvington area on the East side, but I'll go anywhere in the city for good service. Thanks for your suggestions.  |

I'm glad you brought this up. I just put on new rubber and was wondering the same thing. I'll be watching for responses. I'm on the West side but like you would be willing to drive a little if it was a trusted shop for setting up MINI's.

Well, I had a 6 p.m. appointment at Performance Driven tonight and had my alignment done. What a nice little shop...and the guys were great. The car drives straight as an arrow and the steering wheel is right on center just as it should be. When they were finishing up, they pulled the car around front, but then took it back into the shop. One of the guys came in and told me that they were going to do a bit more adjusting because the steering wheel was just the slightest bit off....so they are very detail oriented. I highly recommend! |

If I can ask, fair price?

If I can ask, fair price? It was $69. I called around to several places over the last week or so and most places were wanting either $79 or $99....a couple were $69. So, yes, I think it is a very fair price....especially for the careful attention I feel that my car got. I wish I had found out about this place last week. I would have had them mount my new tires. IndyTire did a real fine job of scratching up my rims for me.  |

I can't recommend Performance Driven any more highly. They aligned our Clubman the other day and have now mounted & balanced several sets of tires for me. Their prices are more than fair, the guys working there are exceptionally knowledgeable and they were accomodating of my special requests. They will even do exhaust & other mechanical work on MINI's if you need something done and Waylen is not in town. As mentioned, they work on Scott's MINI regularly.

Know what they charge to mount and balance a set of wheels and tires? I've got another set of wheels coming soon. |

It depends on the tire sidewall height, but for 45 or 45 series tires it's $18 a tire. More importantly you can trust these guys to take care of your new rims. 1-317-821-1548 |

Yeah, I had called them last week to put my new tires on a set of wheels I bought. (Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2 and Bridgestone 205-45-17 RE-01Rs)
Unfortunately 2 of the wheels were in pretty bad shape so I'm having them all powdercoated. Another week or two and I'll be able call them up again to get the set mounted. Then I'm going to try and sell my current wheels.
