pretty much anywhere you want. Les Scwab, Big O, Firestone, pretty much any local tire shop. I highly doubt you will have a hard time finding somewhere to do it.

If you're in Salt Lake, everyone seems to recommend Russ's Alignment (I think they're on N. Redwood Road?).

Also, most Big O's DO NOT do alignment. Neither does Discount Tire. But Les Schwab and Firestone both do.

^^^really?? The Big O I used to work at did them, but that's the only one I've ever actually been to. That's kind of surprising to me.

Yup. I can guarantee that none of the Ogden area Big O's do it.


Then again, apparently they also have no idea what to do with coilovers.

90% of the places I have been to in SLC have no idea how to properly align a car. They also will not do custom specs, which is BS. Remember, it's not the place that does the alignment, it's the tech. Once you find someone who knows what they're doing, build a rapport, buy him some beers. Next time you go back, he'll be siked to work on your car.
After a long time searching, I finally found a guy who works at a Firestone who's awesome at his job. Firestone in Bountifull on 5th S 5th W, is name is Aaron.
You can get a lifetime alignment from Firestone for about $170, which is very worth it. I go about once a month.
Alignments can make or break a cars handling, no matter what other "upgrades" you may have.

Ability alignment. Go there. They know what the hell they are doing and are 2/3's the price of everybody else.

If you are just looking for cheap.. I am taking an alignment class... I can say it is my car and do it for basically free unless there are parts needed (usually not).. But you have to remember that it is a learning experiance..
