Default Reliable shop in Winston Salem

I just purchased a 2008 s2000 and the only modification is that it has been lowered. I took it to a tire shop to try and get a four wheel alignment because it was pulling slightly to the right. The shop told me that they could not get the alignment into spec because the car had been lowered. I would like to take the car back to stock height does anyone have a recommendation of a reliable S2000 shop in the Winston area.

Thanks

Does he do the work out of the dealership or somewhere else?

He works at Lake Norman Infinity (Exit 28 off I-77). They charge a flat $119 for alignment. I took mine in with new adjustable upper ball joints. First, he set the OEM settings to mid range. Second, he set the camber close to the desired settings with the new ball joints and locked them down. Last he went back to the OEM adjustments to fine tune the alignment. Altogether it took nearly 2 hours.

I was very pleased with his consultation and general work ethic.

If you want to get funny looks, trailer a Honda track car to the Infinity dealership.
