    Alignment shop in PDX that can do lowered cars?

    By lowered I mean I'm pretty much incapable of driving up any sort of ramp unless I have ten feet of planks. I hear there is one up in Seattle but that sort of defeats the process.

    Industrial Tire on Killingsworth just got a new alignment rack that will work with lowered cars. I just took my buddy's super slammed MK3 Jetta there last month and we got it on the rack just fine.

    Call 'em if you want. 503.256.1016

      they do mostly racecars which are usually way too low for the street, and can have difficult to align suspensions.

        I have heard Hartmann Motors Inc, Southwest 64th Avenue, Portland, OR do preloaded alignments.

          Awesome thanks guys! Last time I had to raise my car a bit to get aligned then lowered it again (which is pointless)

              They have done alignment on several e30s with camber/toe adjustment- may be worth it to give them a shot. If they determine they cannot align it for whatever reason, bummer- but they charge 65 or 70 dollars for 4 wheel alignment and bring them your specs and they'll set it up.

              most alignment racks have ramps and your car sounds low, have you thought about removing bumper/valence?

                            We do have an in ground Hunter HawkEye Alignment rack with BMW WinAlign software. Unfortunately we do not do have weights for preloaded alignments as MINIs do not require them. You're more than welcome to supply your own weights. We will align anything.

                              This would be my advice. Awesome shop, great guys. Very reasonable prices as well. Plus super easy to get to if coming from the 'Couv
