As of now, you can’t even get a corner balance at a dealer (afaik).
I’ve had my dealer do a corner balance.

I'd never allow any dealer to do an alignment and/or a corner balance.

To each their own, but my guy was a cup car mechanic for several years and does great work.

We are lucky to have some great indy shops in SoCal that better work than any dealers out here.

Yes, totally unlike the typical Hunter laser alignment (far better, imo).

Y’all must be getting some janky alignments at your dealer…At least you found a place you are happy with.

My dealer used to have their own race team on the national stage. Not your average dealer.

I'm Vegas half the time and in SoCal the other half. There's only one good shop in Vegas but there are several in SoCal. The stealers out in SoCal and Vegas don't run a race team, I only trust them to perform free oil changes and warranty work.
