I know Mark at one6motorsports in elk grove village has a great team. I personally vouch for him and would not go anywhere else, if you're a little more south, you can do GRD in Villa Park as well. The only 2 shops I'd ever let touch my car.

I believe Mark has used a couple rollers from other vendors around the area for tuning, but for alignment, I'd go there, tell him Jeff with the yellow ap2 sent you. He will take really good care of you regardless.

The guys at gt motoring are just west of Elk Grove, forget the town sorry. I spoke with them about an alignment and they said they could. I have a tough schedule due to working nights and sleeping during the day. They said they could work with me and do a possible Saturday even though they aren't open then. Seem like great people to me.

I also bought one of their lifetime contracts. So, when going to a track weekend, on Friday I got to the NTB and get 1° of additional camber on all four, max out the caster up front and just a hair of toe-out in front and toe-in in rear. I then go to the track and return on Monday to have the alignment reset to OEM. There is no cost for that under my contract.

Oh, and Mike, the technician, knows the car so well that he's done with an alignment in a very short time if you are at that time in a rush.
I also had a great experience at NTB
