Default Good shop in central jersey?

Hello everyone,

I just lifted the cherokee and want to look for a good shop to do an alignment to hopefully fix the DW. Anyone have any suggestions as to trustworthy 4x4 shops?

Thank you in advance.
Matt

Krazy House Customs is a joke. Not only are they un-educated and not knowledgable in any aspect. They screw many people over. Brandon is not a good guy.

Not to mention they are rated D- (scale A+ to F) from the Better Business Bureau.

Bobs Crossroad Service-Ask for Bob. No one else.

Vernon Crossings-Talk to Jay. He is the only good one there with jeeps and lifted vehicles.

Ok 4x4-Whoever does that.

Luschers Auto-Ask to speak with gary directly.

To each his own I guess. Ok4wd forgot to re-attach my bottom shock bolts on my JK the last time it was there for service. My GF drove it an hour plus home with no shock bolts installed at 65MPH. She said when she got home, the Jeep was making some weird noises, I climb under and see that there are no bolts on the shocks, they were just sitting there. I nearly lost it. So much for doing the best work in NJ. That Jeep was eventually sold b/c no one could get it to go in a straight line after OK did the lift on it. I had it at three different shops, no one could get it right, including OK as they had it for 2 weeks.

Sure they didnt work their way out, that happens unless torqued down multiple times after a lift. They say to tighten everything again after 30 miles.

And that doesnt sound right, all you adjust is toe, if that didnt work than something in your lift was wrong.
