Default looking for place to fix wheel alignment

I managed to knock my wheel's alignment out of place by hitting a giant protruding manhole while of course trying to avoid a giant pothole. Darn sh*tty streets of LA.

I went to my local Firestone and they turned me away due to the crossfires not being in their system. I searched this forum and saw recommendations to take to a specialty alignment shop.

So does anyone know of a place where i can trust to get my alignment fixed the first time? LOL

Thanks.

Perhaps, you should see my posts regarding my experience with my local dealer and you'll understand why im hesitant on going to a dealer. True, this is only one instance but i'd rather not push my luck with them. Also since, an alignment is not covered by warranty, i'd rather pay the same money to someone who can do it right the first time.

And I'm still hoping someone can recommend a place to get mine fixed.

Take your car to Ron's Tire & Wheel in the Valley on Sherman Way. Ask for Vartan, he does all my racing alignment for my Crossfire. Camber, Caster, Toe...

Also have them check the "round" of your wheels... More than likely you bent the wheel... I destroyed the OEM wheels in the first year. They look great, but after too many "off road excursions" on the track, they were terrible...

Remember, wheels are subject to more abuse from the road than your suspension, especially with these low profile tires...

Okay, thanks. So I should just wait till Buttonwillows on the Feb 4th to get the alignment done then, right?
