Default Alignment shop?

I'm in the process of installing new wheel bearings and tie rods which means I'm gonna need an alignment. I got one from S&R awhile back, they did a good job but I'd like somewhere closer. I'm in Clearwater so something around there would be preferable, Tampa (near airport) & ST Pete will work also if highly recommended. Thanks!

Cars & Concepts is near the airport. Expensive and slow, but good.

S&R has done at least 8 alignments for me and I am always happy. So I change setups a lot.. nothing wrong with that!

I keep asking Bobby for a price on a lifetime alignment..

I'll give you a little hint, IT DOESEN'T MATTER... as long as the measurements can be met. XYZ is = ZYX I like to show people how to use "Common folk tools" so they can actually understand what is happening, and in due time do it themselves with a $60 Camber caster gauge. you can get close enough measurements with a level and "measuring stick" but a gauge does save a lot of time.

Learn to fish.. or listen to the other posts on here and buy a fish.

I'd go to Firestone. Lifetime alignments to your spec. If your working on a car & keeping it, its worth the upfront cost.
