Alignment Recommendations?
My 2001 C240 has only 22k on the tires. Biut the outside edge of both front wheels are totally worn. I rotated the wheel every 5K and all 4 wheels are worn on the outside. I need an alignment.
Could someone recommend a place that can do mercedes alignment besides the dealership. I live in the Bay Area. thanks

i haven't found a place other than the dealership that is even willing to try....and i have looked.....most places look at the car and then turn away...of course in oklahoma benz's are uncommon and more intimidating than in bay area

Go there, ask for Orlando. Tell him Jose referred you to that excellent place (he aligned me with the camber arms on the "blue" merc - tell him that!). You have to watch how he works it's unbelievable
. You'll like the Hunter alignment machine I gaurantee it.He's done 4 mercs, all C-classes, but then again, all with rear adjustable camber arms.
flip
I hope you have camber arms and bolts. Makes his job tons easier and with better adjustability to return to spec (if you've lowered the car).

Thanks mig888 for the recommendation. Anyone else had good alignment experience in the Bay Area?
