Default Denver CO alignment recommendations

Does anyone have a sugggestion for and in alignment shop in the Denver area?

I am going to do ball joints, sterring rack RR, and tie rods and will need an alignment when done.

So any suggestions on where to go to get the job done right would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thom

We assume you are aware of the mandatory requirement that the car suspension never be lifted during the alignment process?

I had my car aligned at the Big O on 44th between Wadsworth and Sheridan. The key is they have the correct Hunter alignment machine and I made clear they couldn't lift the car.

They lifted the car on their first attempt, but I stayed to watch and explained to them that it could not be lifted. After I drove it a hundred miles I brought it back and they aligned it correctly.

I think it was about $70.

I don't remember the tech's name. Just make sure you stick around and tell them not to lift it.

I am at 58th and Wads so stop by on your way, or stop by any time. I will be in the garage this Friday afternoon and Saturday replacing a carbon canister, bleeding brakes and replacing a windshield washer tank.

Randy V that comment was necessary why.

Of course I understand that, that is why I was looking for a competent place to get an alignment.

Thom RV means well,
since your not known here,
this bit of info is meant to save you much grief further down the road, it is common for a shop to lift the front end to CHECK out the parts,
this will negate your alignment, so now you know this.

Yes I was aware based on my research, it just came across as harsh.

My apologies
