    as we all know no two places do the same quality of work so I figure it would be a good question to ask people.

    so .....

    where have you gotten your alignment done at and were you happy with it?

    what places will you not go back to because they did a bad job?

    do you think this is a job best done at the dealership?

    Every shop I've come across can't align my truck because of the WT4's. I found a place that specializes in modified setups. Big wheels, monster mud tires, etc. Stuff your local Firestone can't touch. Doug's Alignments in Sanford. They do alignments the old fashion way with a slide rule, abacus, and shit like that. The way they did it before them newfangled computoooors.
