obviously go with a reputable shop in the area, and make sure they give you a print out for your review.

I would try and go to a shop that can handle a lowered vehicle without "trying" to get it up there.

an alignment does just that--aligns the wheels(no pull in the steering etc) Your toe is affected when lowering the vehicle(which I assume you are aware of). adjusting toe/camber will save on tire wear--if the vehicle is too low, sometimes a camber kit is required.
