Thanks to a couple of members on the site I determined I need an alignment.

I'm out of town at the moment, but there's a big toyota/scion/honda/hyundai dealership a few miles away as well as a precision tune, meineke ect.

This is not my home dealership(which I've always had good service from) so I'm not sure where to take my car. This is pretty much the first "major" work done to it.

If you suggest to not go to the dealership which major chain shop has the best track record?

most dealers dont have racks, they'll just send it to a local shop. So save the extra step. It really doesnt matter, its a pretty difficult thing to mess up unless the tech is incompetent.

Suggest you locate the nearest Firestone and buy the lifetime alignment! It pays for itself over and over again

go to a big name place like sears or similar that specialize in tires and alignments. that way, when you need a touch up, you can use your warranty at any location, unlike the dealer where you have to take it to the same place regardless of your location.

eh go to a wheel and tire shop, not a chain, that specializes in suspension and uses an aligment bay. the guys there will have the most experience with lowered cars if yours is. if its stock, just go to a firestone or something.

if your cam is lowered and they say they dont do lowered cars because its lowered and not because they cant fit it on the rack, then they have no business doing alignments in the first place. A lowered car is no different to align than a stock car. There is a difference between an alignment tech and someone who makes numbers green and takes your money. An alignment tech is someone who is capable of figuring out and fixing a problem not just setting the numbers green
