D.C. Area Alignment

I'm getting new wheels/tires soon and was wondering where to get a good alignment done in the area. Prefarably close to Fairfax?

I don't mind paying for a good one too, because I may need them to zero out the toe. My advans wore very unevenly. I could probably get another 10k out of them (at 18k now) if they wore even as opposed to just in the inside edges.

Advice and referrals are appreciated!

One followup: should I get the alignment now, while I'm waiting for the new tires, or get it right after I get the new tires? I'm thinking the latter, but just making sure.

Thanks!
AC

Rule of thumb is to get aligned when all changed to the wheels / tires and suspension are finished, about a week later to allow the suspension to sag / settle.

Thanks for the help.

I am signed up over at the website; but I posted here because it was down yesterday (at least when I had time to start this thread).

I searched over there and it looks like AMS or Ultimate seem to be the best bet. Ultimate is closer to me, so I may give them a try. The new shoes show up early next week (Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S on MB Weapons). I'll mount them, wait a week and then schedule an alignment.

Thanks again guys!

I took my Evo to Curry's Auto Service in Chantiily (http://www.currysauto.com). Their service was expensive but very good. I was considering Ultimate, but I heard good things about Curry.
