In my opinion, take it back to a dealership! They do the best job and yes they do charge more. There is a guy named Donny that works at Heiser Chevrolet just off of HWY 100 and Lincoln he does a great job and takes his time.

Precise in Big Bend seems like good guys to deal with.

If you are using anything but stock specs, I'd avoid a dealership. Might be based on my only experience getting an alignment done but my SS has aftermarket UCA's and specs required too, Holz had a hard time letting me do them. Warning me of premature tire wear(not too worried at 1-2k miles per year ;) ). They seemed puzzled why anyone wants different than stock settings! :durr

Good job though, sure. Big Bear sounds like a highly recommended place to go and they seem to understand/specialize in upgraded/modified peices and settings. I plan to bring my LS there this spring now that upgrades are done.

I have a ton of Aftermarket suspension parts on my car so I take it to Mraz Import Automotive... They tweak it a little different so it handles better... I believe the front wheels are toe'd in slightly... Can't remember the cost since I havn't had an alignment in... 3 years... And yes I need to get one sometime this year also... :rolf But all in all they do good work, if ya go there tell 'em Joe Reichard sent ya... But only if you talk to Mike Mraz or Rob... The new guy don't know me or my dad... Seeing that my dad's current car is still under warranty so he takes it to the dealership... And I do most of my own work... :thumbsup

no other shop to consider. Go to Big Bear and be done with it

Only one shop in southeastern WI can do an alignment on a car with non stock parts? I find it hard to believe ;). I had my SS done at Holz years ago with success but I know dealerships probably look at any modified peices as silly or uneccessary.

Its a hard for me to get out there, trying to find something more in the area.

no, Big Bear is by far the best, and the cheapest...... there's little point in trying elsewhere

I would talk to these guys. I have had several friends get work done there and I had an alignment done there last fall. they had a few trucks in there with lifts on them, I would say that is not stock suspension.

I also give a thumbs up to Precise in Big Bend. It's right off of National Ave, before Steins.
