Default Alignment on lowered S2K in Medina/Akron/Canton?

I lowered the S2K last year and never got around to aligning it; though, I only put about 250 miles on it since I did the work.

I took it to a couple of places and they couldn't get it on the rack because it was too low. One spot wanted to monkey with building a ramp to pull up onto the rack. I didn't want to chance damaging the car, so I passed.

I am told some places have alignment racks built into the ground. I found one in North Ridgeville, I believe; however, I would like to find a spot that someone here has used, trusts and knows our cars.

I live in Medina and will drive to a spot as long as it's reasonably close.

Thanks!

I have been told that Conrad's in Medina has a ground level alignment rack. I have an appointment there on 6 April.

They specialize in German automobiles, but I trust them with everything I own. Also, my dad has been taking his cars there for years and he's never had a bad expereance.
Not sure about the clearance on their lifts though, might want to call ahead.

Nevermind. I just reached out via email and found out it's the one only a half mile from my house! WOAH! Are you kidding me? So, I'm going to roll up there tomorrow and talk to them a bit and if it sounds good, I'm doing it. If not, I'm rolling up to Orange Village. Thanks again, everyone!

I stopped in and talked to Del Kyer at the Conrads in Medina. Still amazed this was right under my nose - literally a half mile from my house! Anyway, he does have an in ground Hunter alignment rack. He said a "custom" alignment would be $145, plus tax. That's the route I plan to take. I'm going to wait another month until I get the car out, though. Nice enough guy and the price seems reasonable, particularly since it's so close to my house.
