Mainecoons Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Tire shop tells me I need wheel alignment on 2012 Honda CRV AWD. Review of past posts here says Beto in SAT is reliable, also Autochek in Riberas who I have used for other work with good results. However I didn't think he had the necessary equipment. More mixed reviews on the Goodyear in Chapala. Any recent experience that will help me pick the right shop for this work? Although the car tracks perfectly the tire shop said there is a serious edge wear problem being caused by either alignment or suspension issues. I did ask Autochek to inspect for the latter just before this latest trip and he said it was OK. Thanks for your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Several years ago I took a CR-V (older than yours) to Felipe, he replaced some things but said others were OK... but that it would need an alignment after his repairs. He took it down to Car City when he was finished. Some folks don't like Car City but I've used them a couple of times for some stuff and found them to be OK. Many front wheel drive vehicles will show the most tire wear on the outside edge. Driving on the cobblestone streets add to the potential and just does a number on tires and front suspension.

AngusMactavish Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Why not take it to the experts at a Honda dealer in Guadalajara? Seems to me to be the best sure solution. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Last time I had service at Vanguardia near Galerias, they had a special on Alignment. Forget the price but seemed reasonable. And they do have the equipment. S&S can call them and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Car City in Riberas has the proper alignment rack. There are others in the area who do alignments, but their equipment is out of date or poorly maintained. My last alignment was very reasonable. After 8k tire wear is perfectly even.

Mainecoons Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks all for the input. I'm going to go by and talk with Felipe first and then see what he recommends. Would really rather not take that long trek into GDL if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 OK, took it to Felipe this morning. He will thoroughly check the suspension and then take it to the tire shop up on the Libremiento and personally supervise the alignment. He said that is where he is taking it now because the guy there is doing consistently good alignments. FYI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
