wheel work in massachusetts

hello gentlemen,
where have people been getting alignments and balances in the metrowest area. kaizen charges 125 and 50 (which i might just dish out), dynotech contracts someone else... those are the only shops i really know about. every generic tire shop, (direct tire) charges twice as much for lowered cars... anyone got any tips for me? just need an alignment and balance...

Heard good things about Apex in marlborough. They are roughly $195 for a alignment from what I heard, I'm on the fence between Kaizen and Apex though.

That's pretty cheap for corner balancing included. How did everything come out?

Appears to be good, he changed the preload on my coils and adjusted em a bit, so it was a little more then $160

Yeah gonna give em a ring tomorrow. Would it be easier to just undo my wheel and turn it a tad and put it back on? I know the alignment is right, the car goes perfectly straight, just the wheel is angled slightly.

How's the handling does it feel improved at all? And I'm definitely sure they'd fix it!
