Default Alignment in Ohio

Who do you get your alignment from? Any recommended shops in Ohio columbus, dayton or cincy area?
I have tried Byers...car is too low to get it on their rack.

Thanks. Is the shop familiar/done water cooled cars? I did have a look at his web site.
I have an annoying shake at random speed mostly above 65ish and at full throttle only, it pulls a little to the left. Tires balanced 2-3 times, alignment done 2 times...no one seems to have the answer...

Bill has been flown by Audi to Lemans and Sebring to do alignments for their LMP cars. He is the only person I have do alignments for my 993 and previous 911 track cars. He knows his stuff.

Just a follow up...I took it to Performance alignment and Bill did the work. All I can say is excellent.
I got alignment and tires road force balanced...
I'm not doing to go into details but the pulling, shaking, vibration is pretty much gone. I say pretty much because there is some shake but thats due to the solid motor and tranny mounts I have which is normal.
Just wanted to thank Bill and those that recommended Bill. 100% satisfied.
