This guy is amazing. I have never seen a guy align a car the way he does it. No fancy computerized equipment or dancing around the car to do an alignment. I took my car to another alignment shop before bringing it to Jeff. The previous guy told me that not many people knew how to align cars the way he does it. Well, he put as many shims as possible on my upper control arm, to the point that he didn't have enough room to tighten the nuts on the upper control arm bolts. I opened the hood later on just to check, and I saw the nuts barely grabbing the bolts that were coming out from the shock tower. I was physically able to tighten one of the nuts with my fingers. This was a dangerous and very expensive situation in case the upper control arm would break while driving. I called the guy and explained the problem. He said that he couldn't do anything else because there was no room for adjustment; according to him and his top of the line equipment. I took my car to Jeff the next morning, based on my friend's recommendation. I told Jeff that I didn't feel safe driving around with a prompt to break down upper control arm that wasn't secured properly due mainly to the lack of knowledge. Jeff removed some of the extra shims and adjusted the upper control arm so there was enough room to tighten both nuts and make it safe. Then, he aligned the car the proper way. I am very happy with the final outcome. I agree with the reviews, Jeff is very professional. He really knows what he is doing. He is fair and upfront. This is not the first time that I have taken a car for alignment, so I know when I see someone who knows what he is doing and mainly is ethical and honest. Without a doubt, he is the best. I highly recommend him. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I for sure would.
