Default Need Expert Alignment Shop - Chicago Area

I would greatly appreciate it if you could identify an excellent shop in the Chicago area to do precise alignment and steering setups and corrections, whether it's an independent shop or a dealer. I don't have any problems with my dealer, I'm just looking for someone Porsche-knowledgeable with the expertise to meet my rather exacting needs. Thanks in advance.
[Note: I have both a 911 and a 718; I posted this in the 718 forum but haven't had any responses there.]

Willing to drive out to Palatine? A&L Autobody / iND is PHENOMENAL! Talk to Anthony

Also, Fall Line Motorsports in Buffalo Grove would be able to take care of you just fine.

Another great choice would be CPT (Chicago Performance and Tuning).

Melrose Park.

Ask for AL.

Great place.

Update, Endorsement, and Thanks: Using the referrals provided in this thread, I followed up with a couple of shops. Val at A & L in Palatine told me they now refer all their alignment work to Advance Auto & Truck Repair in Palatine. I went there, met their alignment expert (Ben), and was so impressed with his knowledge that I decided to have them do the work immediately. They did, and I couldn't be more pleased! Ben is experienced, knowledgeable, takes the time to test-drive (repeatedly if needed, both with and without me) and explained in great detail, and truly cared about making it right. And, the price was very reasonable. Kudos and thanks to the owners Jim and Rod, the service manager Dave, and, above all, to my new alignment guru, Ben. And a BIG thanks to the forum members -- LargePuppy and Jason -- for being so helpful!

How much was your alignment? Does your car have any options like adaptive cruise control or rear wheel steering?

$259 and change, for an initial alignment and an additional 1-1/2 hours of work, testing, etc. Although I have a 911 TTS, this was for my 2018 718 Boxster GTS. And it does have adaptive cruise control.
