Default Alignment on a lowered vehicle

I tried taking my car to the neighborhood Good Year yesterday and was surprised to find out that they don't have the proper equipment to give a wheel alignment on a lowered car. Could anyone tell me a good place to get a wheel alignment on my car, somewhere that does this kind of stuff all the time? I know that a performance shop around here can do it but I'm not sure about their professionalism. Thanks.

Where r u from? If you're in NY or near it, my boy's shop has one of the only three Hunter alignment machines in NY and he can do it on any car, no matter how low and it comes out PERFECT. They also make their own camber bolts if needed.. the lift is real easy to get onto, my car's dropped 3" and I have no problem gettin on it.. $79.95 for a 4 wheel alignment.

I went to Sears and the local Honda dealership (surprised). Both had ramps (made of a couple pieces of 2x4s) to get up onto the rack.

find a _local_ guy, theyll do a better job than the chains, they know what theyre doing, and they will _willingly_ take on modified vehicles.

i took mine to one and he was $5 more htan sears, plus i know it was right.
