Default Good Alignment shop needed.

I need to find a good alignment shop in the Springfield MA area or the King of Prussia PA area. I currently line in MA but will move to PA in 2-3 months. I finished the rear rebuild of my 70 and want to get it on the road.
Thanks

Just be sure to find one that can print before and after measurements. If they can't then I would find one that can. Tell them you want the print outs and then go watch them. Trust me I was in the business for many years if they think you know what you are talking about you will get a much better job. You may even want to take the specs that you want it set at. They are a pain to align so many will take short cuts if they think they can get away with it.

The guy who do mine have over 30 years of alignment experience. He never went by the spec because he told me that corvette alignment are made so they stick to the road so that meen harder on the tire. He know my vette is more a show car and a sunday driver so he always aligned it so i get more out of my tire. The last set of tire last me 12 years without any tire rotation.

The NTB store that I usually go to gives a printout of before/after measurements. They let you go into the work area to watch what is going on also. I took my son's 300ZX with a badly tweaked front suspension in to see if it could be aligned and the guy not only pointed out damage that I had not seen but wrote the car up as not alingeable (sp?) so we didn't have to pay for it. NTB seems to have the latest alingnment tools so if there is one locally they might be able to help you out.

Thanks
I would highly recomend Mickey's Suburban alignment in Broomall, PA. It will be convenient to KoP. He has done super work for me.

I know Worcester MA is a haul for you but I keep hearing that Benson and Wood on park ave is the best around. I haven't been there yet but will this spring.
