Default Alignment Shop Question

hey guys,
Anyone know of a shop that would look at your alignment first and determine whether or not they can even get it back into spec? If possible I'd rather them tell me they can't do it rather than to charge me and say "this is the best we could do but still not within spec." Trying to get recon but I don't wanna waste $120 just for them to not get it within spec.

Back in the day I remember lex brodie's used to check first and not charge if they couldn't get it within spec.

Any shop do that?

Island brake and alignment. They will try to get your car to specs but if it doesn't pass, the guy who does it gives you a copy spec sheet with legit numbers to give to the recon station inspectors. Just tell them your trying to pass recon

Lol awesome. I've take my 350z there and usually get all my alignment work done there. Guess I'll take it there again!

Idk why I'm stressing I only lowered it a little. Still have 2 finger gap front/back.

thanks!

^^^ yup i've been around and they seem like the only ones i would trust. I may have had bad luck cuz the last 2 times I waited for 2.5 hours for an alignment and the other time for a tire change. They forgot to call me
