Default FE Alignment Shop Recommendation ?

Hi All,
I just had some new tires installed on the Red Baron. I've always
had the FE aligned on all my cars when I get tires but this tire shop
did not offer this service. Sure enough, the car drifts right.
As I rule things out this is my first idea. I live up in the Upper
Montgomery Co. area so any recommended shop in the metro
would be workable. I just want to get a shop that understands
these cars. Thx in advance...

Hi Quick,
Just went to TAG Motorworks today - ha ! (gaithersburg). Met with a guy named HAM. He was very nice, did his thing and told me everything was good with the FE. I was a bit surprised (call me cynical) when he told me this. No big bill $$ ect. He asked very detailed questions re' the car symptoms ect., took the car for a test drive. He also gave me some pointers re' some other things that he saw. All in all a good experience and I would recommend. Hope this helps....
