I've learned to avoid the Alexander guys.
Steve is a great guy. All the tools you'd need, plus it's always a hilarious time with all three of us in the garage. Spare no emotions, not a place for thin skin but we razz each other all the time. C&C is definitely a meet that you need to attend.
Sorry to hear about your woes; definitely check out Stuttgart South and Eurofix. Just don't go there for an alignment.
