Going to get your car aligned after having new tires installed, or after making suspension changes just plane sucks. The guys at the alignment shop either tell you it’s too old or they tell you they can only align it to the factory specs that are stored in their fancy computer. That sucks because if you’ve gone to the trouble of changing suspension components you probably want to take advantage of them by optimizing alignment specs for your intended use. Thanks to the guys at QuickTrick you can do your own front and rear alignment at home so you not only save money but also save some aggravation. This kit is so complete it even comes with the tape measures! And it’s not just a tool for checking toe, this system measure toe, camber, and caster so you can adjust every available spec on your car.

To be fair, there are tools and kits available from a variety of aftermarket companies that will allow you to do a suspension alignment at home. But, and it’s a big one, you need to make sure that those kits or tools will work on your application. Many of the available tools are specifically designed to be used on certain types of vehicles, and particularly dirt/oval track race cars. That’s all well and good, except for the fact that a lot of the wheels we run on hot rods, muscle cars, drag cars and trucks aren’t equipped with wheels that work with these systems. Again, some of them will work, but make sure you check them out carefully.

The beauty of the new systems from QuickTrick is the fact that they are designed to work on virtually any wheel. It doesn’t matter what style the wheel is, the type of lip it has, or the size of the wheel, they have a system that will work. And they aren’t just one set of tools for one particular wheel size or type. Each kit fits a variety of wheels thanks to a really cool new Quickslide which makes setting up the fixture on each wheel a snap. You don’t even need a third arm to do it!

Thanks to some great video’s, like the one you’ll find below, featuring Mr. QuickTrick, you can be aligning your vehicle in no time and with great success. Two or three alignments pays for this thing too. And just so you feel informed and high tech, if you go to the App Store or QuickTrickAlignment.com you can access every alignment spec for every vehicle sold in North America from 1960 to current.

Enough about this system from me, read the latest from them below (including a really cool program they are working on with local colleges and Victory Junction)  and visit QuickTrickAlignment.com for more information.

Alignment Simple Solutions Actively Supports Local College Program/ Philanthropic Efforts with Victory Junction

Birmingham, AL… December 6, 2013 – Alignment Simple Solutions (ALSS), parent company of QuickTrick™ Alignment products was born out of necessity, as most automotive aftermarket brands are. Designer Gary Gann, with deep experience in NASCAR and the OEM market recognized that the industry was missing a simple and effective way to determine vehicle alignment. He designed a camber measurement system for his own use that over time became commercialized and is now the core portable and compact alignment measuring system available from this thriving business in Birmingham, AL.

“The toe system can be set up and checked in less than 5 minutes,” stated Gann. “The front and rear camber will take about 5 minutes. Accuracy is within 0.01 degree on camber and 1/64 of an inch on toe. All systems come with simple and easy to understand instructions”.

Gann’s wife and CEO of the company, Tess Winningham has utilized her many years as an executive in business development and sales for various Fortune 500 companies to turn Quick Trick™ products toward an explosive sales growth trend…over 450% in the past year alone. This growth could not have been realized without the addition of CFO James Taylor who joined the team as a stakeholder in the company, bringing with him extensive experience in finance, management and internal controls. ALSS’ customer base ranges from the DIY’er and automotive racecar driver & teams, to independent body shops, collision repair centers and fleets.

“We are so fortunate to be involved in an industry that has embraced our product and recognizes its value. As such, it has become exceedingly vital to us to be able to give back to both our community and our industry”, stated Winningham. “This year, I was fortunate to become involved with the Auburn Technical Assistance Center, an Outreach Center of the Raymond J. Herbert College of Business. This was an Industrial Design Assistance Program, which was made possible by funding provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration University Center grant program. Basically, I was approached by the College to work one on one with these students to allow them to come up with product ideas and prototypes that garners them real world experience in product development. It is a program that helps young people stretch and grow and was an experience I will treasure for a lifetime. My takeaway?  Helping our youth nurture a passion for the automotive aftermarket… that is immeasurable ”

” One of the primary missions of the Auburn Technical Assistance Center is to help entrepreneurs innovate and commercialize new product ideas using resources and expertise at Auburn University. We are pleased Tess and Alignment Simple Solutions partnered with our EDA University Center program and Auburn’s Industrial Design School to help design her next generation products.  Tess is a progressive, visionary CEO that shares our passion of creating jobs and opportunities for others in Alabama.  We are appreciative of the opportunity to work with a dynamic woman owned business.”

Gann went on to say, “Giving back is part of the fabric of our business and we also have chosen Victory Junction, a North Carolina camp for children with chronic medical conditions and serious illnesses, as the partner of choice for our future philanthropic efforts.”

Just this September 2013, ALSS donated 5% of sales to Victory Junction and created a fundraiser that raised over $1000 for the camp. Two QuickTrick™ co-branded systems have also been donated to Victory Junction for their Holiday Auction to be held on December 13^th in Charlotte, NC. All proceeds benefit the camp. Hopes are that ALSS’ Annual Fundraiser will grow exponentially each year. Here is what Victory Junction Camp co-founder Kyle Petty has to say:

“Victory Junction is honored that ALSS has chosen to support our mission of serving chronically ill children,” stated Petty. “Camp provides a safe haven for kids where they can forget about their illness for a while. We provide this experience completely free of charge so the fact that ALSS has committed to help us achieve this is huge.”
