Default Alignment shops near Philadelphia / Philly Area...

I've searched, and found two threads on this topic. However, neither provided needed current information. Can some members please share where they get their alignment don in the Philadelphia area?

I know of one shops who does phenomenal work called R/T Tuning. I've personally seen some of his work a few years ago, and his reputation is known. However, driving all the way out to Lansdale seems rather tedious.

I've had a friend just tell me about a place in Broomall called Mickey's Alignment. Has anyone been there to speak for their work?

Lastly, if there are some shops in the city that perform well at alignments, please by all means enlighten me.

I have a '93 Accord coupe on F&F Type I's dropped about 2.5", SPC front camber kit (ball joint style), Wicked Tuning rear camber kit, 5-Lug converted, and new suspension components every to compliment the upgrades.

Try Yellow Pages while you wait for a local answer?

They won't touch lowered cars with camber kits in my part of town. Actually, anywhere in a 30+ mile radius. I called and checked.

That sucks. The shop I go to has an alignment shop right next door. He'll align anything.
You should post in this regional forum.

I tried, but it wouldn't let me. I'll cut my losses here, and head out to Lansdale.

Okay. Approximately 1 year later, my alignment has held up well. Aside from my aggressive driving and pot hole hitting, I can honestly say the boys at R/T Tuning in Lansdale, PA did an excellent job at aligning my car.

I'll be returning there in the next few months to get everything dialed back in.

Some eye candy:
