Where do you go for Alignments?
135$ for 3 years sounds good especially since one6 told me it was 100$ for 1 alignment. Will they do UK or custom specs?

I've started using the NTB in Montgomery due to its proximity to my work, and the fact that I got the 3 year plan for $135.

For what it's worth, it was $155 for the 3-year, but they gave me a $20 off credit for picking it.
got the UK spec done at the Firestone on Ogden in Naperville. They seemed fine with me bringing my own specs. The only thing is the tech guy didn't center the steering wheel. Brought it back and he fixed it. Overall no complaints.
Bumping this from the dead. Trying to find an alignment place for cheap around the lombard area. Could travel further if necessary. I went to the new Firestone on East Roosevelt Rd.and they gave me the run around.
Phone call went like:
Me: Do you have an in-ground rack for lowered cars?
Firestone: Yes
Me: Would you do specific specs for me?
Firestone: Yes
Me: Sweet, Ill be in around 12:30.
Firestone: See you then.
I then get there and ask the questions again and show them the spec sheet of the number I wanted to achieve. He kept looking at sheet trying to understand what it all means and hes like ill have to double check with the manager.
So he goes back and talks it over then comes back and hes like the manager said no because itll be a liablity issue since we arent following the stock Specs. I was like are you serious? the specs are posted from Honda (UK bulletin in hand) and im only asking to go easy on the toe. Then he kept repeating since it isnt OEM and we dont know the last time the car got an alignment and it has 117k on it the manager said no, sorry.
I was super cool about it but should of B****ed em out for wasting my time. The first time I called the dude ended up hanging up on me. They really didnt sound like they knew what they were doing regardless.
Anyways I would take it to Addison wheel alignment but dont really want to spend $135 for a daily non-tracked car, So looking for cheaper options.
I tried contacted that guy who does alignments for $50 bucks who is located in Arlington heights but no reply yet.

Two thumbs up for them
These options are a bit far but Im thinking of just going to NTB in Montgomery since everyone recommends them. Just didnt know if those usual folks would be around since this thread was so old. The alignment package is well worth it but unfortunately I do not plan on keeping the car around for that long. Im only lowered on esplier springs so no slammed/hardpark/hellaflush/stretched and poked stupidness for me.
Any other local suggestions?
