Tire cupping - need mechanic to troubleshoot

Postby jankyboy » Sun Jul 17, 2011 9:14

I'm looking for a good mechanic to troubleshoot a tire cupping issue. I've had the alignment checked for excessive toe and I'm fairly certain my Koni FSD struts/shocks aren't blown. I'm afraid something's either loose or bent; however, I'm unable to determine the root cause.

Any recommendations for a good mechanic located in either Colorado Springs or around the Denver Tech Center?

Thanks - P

That would be great... I work down in the tech center (over by Fiddler's Green). Where are you located? How can I got about making an appt?

Thanks! I'll give you a call early in the week once I know what my schedule looks like.

So Don checked out my tire problem - that guy's a class act - and it looks as if I'm in need of an alignment. He recommended a shop up in Commerce City, but I thought before making the drive all the way up there I'd ask if anyone knows of a trusted shop down in Colorado Springs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - Paul

I've heard good things about the Goodyear at 3610 Austin Bluffs Parkway and Tire World

I went to the tire world on north academy and they did a fairly good job on my car. I need new steering parts so they couldn't get it very good.
