Any good shops in Chicago Area for Alignment? Hey guys gonna have some suspension mods done soon and some new tires and wheels put on, anyone know of any good shops to have an alignment done on my Trans Am. Im hesitant of bringing it to a local tire shop cause they can never get it on the rack cause its lowered and usually its stupid kids that work their i dont trust! Thanks!!

I usually go here
Harlem Tire and Auto
5940 S Harlem Ave

When I needed an alignment I went to a bunch of places because I wanted it aligned to my specs, and no one would do it. They all said that that was not the way to go and that I would be happy with their alignment with factory specs. I was like no @$$hole, I want the car to handle, the suspension has been upgraded, the factory specs call for POSITIVE camber, and the car gains more positive camber as the suspension is compressed, I want you to align it with -0.5 to 0.0 degrees of camber, I have researched this and checked with a few people who race g-bodies. No one would do it until I stopped at Harlem tire, once he realized that I knew what I was talking about he had no problem doing the alignment to my specs. They have a Hunter digital alignment rack that is probably less than 5 yrs old. You should probably call before you go to take the car in, they are kinda small, probably only have 4 people working there.
