why do you need a pit, if its because your car is lowered then go to tires way they can handle lowered cars.

Are they better than Tires Way?

Don't get me wrong, I like the job that tires way does, i just feel invisible there.

Now I will say that tires way lacks courteous customer service, especially if your not a native speaker of spanish. They do good work and if they mess up they will take care of it but I agree with the remark above

Carlito and the other guy over there are super nice. Got my car done first thing. (put me before everyone else) Tell them your with the OZOC or the Z club as they call us and they treat us like what we are... THE SH*T! haha.. but yeah hes all about our cars.

Tell him Chris with the white Z that got it aligned last Saturday sent you.

They are putting on a show in the near future and want us there so he'll hook us up just for that fact alone.

His number is: 407-679-8174

They use a normal rack... but Im pretty sure they have wood to help ease the car up.. I would call to make sure.

The Amuse with the diffuser on a DD "slammed" your just asking for a tore up car bro... Be careful... Slammed is definately the way to go but its not worth it if you cant go no where...

Tires way spoiled my car. They tried yanking my pulleys and broke one of them. I would never recomend them. IMHO.............. They guy who manages the place is a nice guy but their job is shabby. Pay more and get more!!!!

true true, for the past couple years ive always sacrificed driving in certain areas because of the car, so i dont think it should be so bad, but definately, i want zero gap in the wheel wells. If I can get that, i think i should be satisfied.

Anyone needing an alignmet can also check out Nix and Black's. They have a pit and I had them check out the Viper. Nice guys.

I went to them to put a camber kit on my car and they (the manager) told me that I had to pay in cash no other way and that they would not warranty their work nor give me a receipt and that if they did a poor job that I would have to bring it back and pay to have it fixed.

I asked him if he was serious and he said to me "do I look like I am joking" I said well if you dont feel confident enough to warranty your work then there is no way in hell I will let you touch my car and furthermore to make me pay only by cash and to not give me a receipt seemed extremely shady to me. He said well then take your car somewhere else, let me remind you again THIS WAS THE MANAGER OF THE NIX & BLACK.

Now granted this was after I first moved here about 2 years ago but regardless it still stands. I would treat them like the black plauge and never recommend them to anyone! Shady A$$ Mother FU@#KERS!

Does carlito's tires install camber kits?

Im planning on installing my coilovers this week (whenever i get my car back from the shop, still) and im debating whether or not i should install the camber kit myself or not.

Im pretty confident i can install it, but i dont wanna be driving on it without an alignment b/c most likely i will have it out of spec more than usual and it will probably eat up my tire.

I know, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I had heard alot of good things about that place which is why I went there. I got the exact opposite from what I had heard.

They did have a nice alignment rack in a sump though. I was pretty upset that they were like that but then I found out about tires way, if carlitos tires is able to get my car up on their racks I am probably going to go there next time. They are much nicer.

Since I moved to Orlando in '94 I've been dealing with Carlitos, then I heard about the new computer Tires Way acquired for allignments and kind of headed that way. Carlitos is a GREAT guy (so is Cano @ Tires Way) and I would highly recomend him to do whatever you need for your car. If Carlitos can do the allignment for the same price as Cano, I go to Carlitos. The fact is, Carlitos owns his shop.

so i just picked up a set of 18" RE30's, so Im thinking about parting ways with my 19" LE37's Gloss Black. Im offering it to any orlando guys first before i put it on SE Forsale.

Oh and yes, i did destroy that one rim, but i just bought a replacement 9.5 adn also a 10.5 from someone else, so I'd be selling (2) 19x9.5 and (3) 19x10.5

You can use the third 10.5 as a spare just in case, since these are discountinued and i went thru hell and back to try to find spares so i dont think it'll hurt.

Tires are shot on em, but I also have a set of brand NEW BFG KDW II's, 255/35 and 285/55. Let me know guys. All 5 rims are mint., no curbage.
