You need a specific alignment machine to do the job right. I had a bad experience at NTB with my old car (and my brother's car and my....) and will never go to any of those types of places with my Audi. They seem to have monkeys working there or something. Anyway, the NTB by you might be OK but I would recommend finding a good shop even if it costs you a little more. At least you'll know its done right.

I ended up paying $60 or $70 at place in Reisterstown, MD and they have the correct equipment and did an excellent job. The first place I had do it didn't align it right and my tires wore unevenly. Any shop that has done Audi's before should know that the front camber is not adjustable but can be evened out side to side by adjusting the subframe. The alignment should take several hours to complete correctly.

By the way, I don't remember if you have an A4 or not. This was my experience with my A4. Good Luck!

correctly. They might be a good shop. My only concern is in my experience those places like NTB and Just Tire don't seem to do things correctly or carefully. Good Luck.

NTB sucks. I have been to 3 in my area and they all suck. I ended up writing the main headquarters to get my money back.

I have heard horrible stories from others too. They'll scratch your wheels, only balance the front tires even if you request all 4, etc.

NEVER!

when i got my snow tires they did do a good alignment and i only had it for a week, unil i discoverd that a mobli near me decided to put up a curb and then put it in a snow bank, never had one there before and i found it the hard way. BUt they are **** and are not worth it at all. Go to firestone, $119 is life time alignment for YOU not the car. So you can have 380532480 cars in your life time and they will align everyone of them as many times as you want.
