It's a hike for ya but I've always taken mine to newbie alignment in New Bethlehem. I've always been very satisfied with their work. They do work for strano's road race cars as well.

There's a great place in Natrona Heights. I can't remember the name though! My boss had me take his 2010 GT 500 up there and they took good care of the car.

I thought Strope Speed Shop was out of business. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I've heard alot of negative feedback concerning them. Several people had told me that Stropes "screwed up my car." I dealt with them almost exclusively when I had my turbo LT1. I wouldn't say they screwed up my car, but I definitely thought it was an underachiever. The best thing about them was that they had a dyno. They were also much, much more expensive than the shop I deal with now. My current shop doesn't do alignments, though.
