    Where is the best place to get an accurate alignment for an STI in the Twin Cities?

    Not to be "that guy" but this has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum and the answer is the same every time.

    Is doing a search so difficult?

    Does anyone have experience at a local Dealer? I recieved a quote from WBL Subaru for $90. I am just suspect that they will align to the factory recommended specs, and it wont be just a waste of money. Thanks for the insight and trolling.

    You asked for the "best alignment". That would be Jeff. He will do the job better than any dealer. And he's very reasonable in price.

    The dealership will likely only align it to the factory specs unless you specifically request otherwise, and for the money you would be better off taking it to Jeff.

    This question comes up at least once a week, and the answer is the same every time. While you may not have seen it come up, it gets old for those of us who keep seeing it. Sneefy is being blunt, but he's got a point.

    In short, take your car to Jeff and tell him what you'd like to use the car for. He'll set the car up and you'll be very happy. Tip him well, his work is worth it.

    Good choice.

    Also, fair warning, he's a little odd in his mannerisms and sense of humor. He can come off as a bit of a jerk at first, but once you realize that's just his style he seems a decent guy.
