Default Where to get wheel alignment? Audi of Westwood, Direct Tire - Norwood or Little Foriegn Motors...

in Waltham.

I just purchased new tires to put on my 18's but before I put them on the car I want the A4 to have a long overdue alignment. Since I am running on after market shocks and springs I am wondering what your all thoughts are as far as where I should have the alignment performed.

Should I trust a dealer service department to get an alignment right on a lowered car (I am sure they can do alignments but the most are probably OEM suspensions) or should I go to LFM or Direct Tire to have it done. Also, I am wondering if I may need new Control Arms and/or TREs (car has 92,500 miles) so one consideration is if I find out that I need CA or TRE work I would likely have LFM or dealer service do the work.

TIA for your thoughts?

Direct Tire is awesome in dealing with modified cars.

DT Norwood - seriously. They are completely adept with aftermarket suspension setups.

Default Scott @ Fastrack Service in Peabody, as CP said. He's VERY exact, does lots of corner balancing and

track car alignments, will align the car to your preferred specs if you have any, and knows A TON about suspension/handling.
