Question Alignment shops in Charlotte, NC area

Have a question for the tinkerers out there...

I recently purchased the FIGS bushings/brackets to fix the nagging abnormal tire wear issue on the front. While the install of the brackets/bushings shouldn't be difficult, I am looking for someone reputable to re-calibrate the toe settings. From my understanding, this is not something I should do at any generic shop.

Any valuable input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up and move of my post. I'm kind of shocked no one in the Charlotte area has made a recommendation yet. Have yet to do the install but looking to take care of it in the next few weeks.

Anyone?

I think the place we took my wife's old NSX for aftermarket alignment was this shop

http://www.bakerauto.com/

Going to ask around to some of our mechanic / racecar buddies. She does all her own stuff on her current car and doesn't send it out any more.

Why "brothers"

Can you let us know the cost for a 4 wheel alignment when you find out?

Not sure I understand your question about why... I asked a few people I trust where they've taken their modified suspension imports that they'd recommend. Two recommended Brothers.

Just passing it along.

10-.4. Some people can't align unless it is Spec ride height etc.. aka they can only use a machine...

It is like going into Advance Auto and asking them for a belt based on length / ribs etc... They CAN'T!!! Do it unless i give them exact model of car..

Ask me how i know.
