Auto Innovations

Came here for an alignment for my corolla years ago and they did just fine. So recently when I installed a new suspension package on my miata I figured I’d come right on back. Auto Innovations was cheaper than the other guys, didn’t blink at my custom alignment specs, got the job done quickly, and my miata drives great now. Can’t ask for anything more than that.

I’ve had 3 different experiences with Auto Innovations and whether it was a spring/​strut install or an alignment, all have been positive. Orlando and the rest of the crew at the shop are great. This is the only shop I trust when it comes to suspension work.

This was my first visit to AI and I was amazed with the quality of their work and fair pricing. Steven and Orlando were very professional and provided quick service. I brought my WRX and my dad’s 2.5RS here for an alignment, tire mounting/​balancing, and TPMS swap for my new wheels. They took care of everything and gave me details about going with a smaller than stock tire diameter, which thankfully confirmed much of my own research. They were also considerate, even asking me if I wanted to keep the boxes my new wheels came with and wrapped the stock wheels from the 2.5RS in plastic bags. Alignment came with a printout of the before/​after for camber, caster, toe and a few other specs. I will definitely come back again after this experience!

Always had good experiences at this spot. I’ve bought several sets of tires and had alignments done here. Service is always good and the staff is helpful and always gets me the tires I need for street or autox!

I’ve ordered a couple sets of tires throughout the last few years and the guys at AI have always given me competitive prices and they do good work. When shopping for tires they ask me what my budget is and they recommend tires based on my needs and driving habits. They also aligned my car on a few occasions and they take the time to review my specs with me.
These guys specialize in tires and alignments and there’s a good reason why they’ve been in business for over 20 years. I’ve seen first hand how they interact with their customers and they take the time to explain the various tire options available and they won’t up sell you on something you don’t need.
I would highly recommend making an appointment and they do a good job getting you in and out as quickly as they can but they spend the necessary time on your car. They do accept walk ins if there happens to be cancelations but call first! I also like that they are open on Saturdays!!!
Kudos to Orlando and the Team at AI!

There’s a reason these guys are well reviewed and well recommended! Took my lowered G35 w/​aftermarket alignment kits here to get back to OEM specs and they were able to fit me in to do a non-​standard job. Orlando was very clear in his explanations and I would definitely come back here in the future!

Orlando and his teem rock. They saved me $ on great tires and didn’t try to upsell me anything. The place is casual, quiet, and no pressure.
Got a free punctured tire fixed and free rotation! These guys rock.
Please go here, you will not regret it one bit.

Professional, quality work at very reasonable prices. These guys know their stuff. I have never experienced an alignment like theirs. They were spot on my specs, each side perfectly equal. Only one measure was off by .02 and really had no bearing on the overall ride quality.
They are also very efficient, have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with customers to help determine just what you need to get what you want. They are honest, straight shooters. Don’t try to sell you stuff, make recommendations but the customer is always right with them. They get the job done fast and right.
I had them do a four wheel alignment and height adjustment for my VMAXX coilovers. They told me and showed me that the front springs had sagged so much there was not more adjustment available. We equaled up the ride height to compensate for the lack of adjustment and I called Flying Miata and got replacement springs that did not need helper springs.
I stupidly had someone else install the springs and do an alignment, both were bungled and cost twice as much as they would have charged me for a complete alignment and height adjust. Live and learn.
If you want the best customer service, best job, and great prices from a place that has integrity and pride of workmanship, this is the place to go. You will be very happy. They even ballast align for those of you that like to autox and race on weekends. You can’t go wrong with this outfit! Make sure you make an appointment, they book up fast for obvious reasons.

Honest business and good price too!

I’ve taken both my B5 and B8 here for alignment. I would say this is the best shop for alignment in the Bay Area. The service here has always been second to none along with very reasonable price. Orlando has always been helpful and knowledgable. They do put themselves into your shoes and providing their sincere advice instead of simply taking your money and get the job done.
I will definitele come back again!

I have a 15 year old car and have been guilty of going to those «new/​used» tire places because it was cheap and I didn’t really care if my tires were the same brand. I finally came to Auto Innovations and man, I should’ve came to these guys a long time ago. The prices are reasonable and the service is above and beyond. Not only did Orlando take care of my tires, I got my car back with super clean windows, floors vacuumed and a dust-​free dashboard! As a woman, I am always a bit intimidated by any place that’s car-​related, but I know these guys are honest and quick to respond. No wonder they have been in business for close to 2 decades. I will never go back to those «new/​used» tire spots again. With the rain season fast approaching, I suggest for you to check them out, you’ll be glad you did.

Took my subaru here for alignment after installing shorter springs. They do specified alignment spec and they are friendly and made sure everything was ok before giving me back the car. I recommend them.

I get all my alignments done here and buy all my tires from here as well. Orlando is very straightforward and knowledgeable. I recently had an issue with SPC having sent me duplicate trailing arms on my rear camber kit and I had to reschedule with Orlando three times. He was super accommodating and understanding each time and didn’t fuss at all. Anything tire/​suspension/​alignment related, these guys are definitely the place to go to.

A great shop with great guys. I’ve taken all my cars here for tire mounting, wheel changes and alignment.
Always a timely job. Always a fair price. Always great to chat with.
I will keep taking my cars here, even though it’s a 20 minute drive and there are plenty of other shops I could use that are closer.

I’ll keep this kind of brief, but the short of it is these guys are awesome!
I needed to get some new tires installed and my car aligned for a high performance driving event, so I decided to give Auto Innovations a call. I have come to AI many times before years ago, but haven’t done so recently. These guys are still as good as they were several years ago.
My experience was excellent. I made an appointment, dropped my car off, and picked it up later in the day. I love it when things are nice, easy, and straightforward. Auto Innovations is not the cheapest out there, but convenience and professionalism was well worth the premium.
Definitely a 5 star experience. Great service. Decent price. No hassle experience.
Tips: Make an appointment. Friday and Saturdays are busy so call at least a week in advance if you want to book those days.

It’s worth my drive from CoCo County to see these guys. 20 years and counting, 10 years for me. Honest, courteous, professional and fair. Yea, I only take my cars here for suspension work and alignments. Street and track certified.

After searching Unilocal and asking friends for an alignment shop, I decided to take my 14′ WRX to Auto Innovations. I called ahead of time and set up an appointment with Orlando. During this time, he asked what suspension components were on the vehicle and provided me a very reasonable quote.
Come alignment day, my car was on and off the alignment rack in less than 40 minutes with a custom alignment! Orlando went over the print-​out and pointed out that my caster was slightly off; however, it could be fixed with aftermarket bushings.
**Oh yeah, the print out goes to the thousandth decimal place!
I give Auto Innovations 5 stars due to their great service, honesty, and pricing. I will definitely be coming back here for future alignment/​tire services.

Brought my Tacoma here yesterday for an alignment and to mount new tires/​wheels. As always, Auto Innovations has a solid staff who is reliable, honest and trustworthy. They mounted my rugged terrain tires with ease and even had black wheel weights to blend in with the new wheels. Orlando was nice enough to point out the set which required more weights for balance so I can put those in the rear. Alignment also went smooth as always, with closed communication back/​forth with Mike regarding what specs I was looking for. He was able to recommend some camber settings based on his experience with wear on these trucks (which are new to me for the time being).
Thanks again guys. I don’t let anyone touch my cars (e.g. dealership) except for you guys!

A place where they take better care of your car than you do. Steve and Orlando hands down took care of me and my car as if it was their own. I have a bit of play on my front end and after a short test drive Orlando realized this and re-​racked the car to check it out. No normal shop does that. They’ll do whatever spec you want on your car (as long as the adjustments are capable) but at the same time give you advise on what you want to achieve with your alignment. I’m a technician myself but unfortunately my car isn’t fit to get our rack and I’m glad I drove from Daly City to milpitas to have these guys do the alignment on my car. I’m now convinced that they’ve earned their 5star Unilocal rating and then some!

Best place for alignments hands down.
They do custom alignments at a great price with great customer service. Always take all my cars here.
