Do any of you know any good alignment shops located close to the northern Chicago suburbs?

FYI, they only take cash though.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow. Any idea how much an alignment will run?

I believe it is $120 something, a little much for just some simple wrenching if you ask me. But I do feel a little more comfortable with them then some clueless discount tires shop.

Make sure they locked the steering wheel in the center position before messing with the toe. Mine was off by a lot when they did mine and had to go back and have them redo it. 2nd time was better, but it was still off by a tiny bit which I just dialed in myself...

Thalmans is 100% worth it. The owner does race alignments and knows what he is doing. I have been going there for years and they are low car friendly and he does whatever specs you want and if you have no idea what you want he will make suggestions for you.
