Go to any SEARS. They do have 4 wheels alignment and they are very competitive.
9 years ago when I had my first Stealth R/T Twin Turbo AWD,AWS I could find a shop in Fort Walton Beach,FL that could do the alignment on my car. To my surprise Sears had a very modern machinery and well trained personnel.

You can't always assume the Mitsubishi technician are proficient. I recently broke down in AZ(wickenburg) on my Dodge Stealth and took the car to a Mitsubishi (Chrysler/Dodge)dealer and the last time they saw a car like mine was 13 years ago. They weren't sure if my car was turbo or not turbo. The service manager stalled my car 7 times in front of me before he parked. My car had a bad transfer case and they told me I had to replace my tranny.

As Bull**** my history might sound you will find a lot of Joe smosh doing pathetic maintenance in our cars, that just gives you an idea on how some dealers around the country are.

Just my .2c

I'll take it to sears, I just wasnt sure if taking it to sears, firestone, etc would be a good idea. But I'll check them out and see if they'll be willing to do the 0 toe and -1.5 in the front and -1 in the rear...those are good settings right?

Honestly I am not very familiar with Firestone but I know that all SEARS are basicly well equipped anywhere in the country. I know Austin has a SEARS.

Also please contact Slowevo(Abner) from this forum, he is very knowleadeable
on Evos(this is his second Evo) and he is on this forum and he also lives in Austin.

Yeah I called them and they said 59.99 without a 20% off coupon from their website. But he was then saying that it would be more depending on the amount of work required. If it's anywhere near 89.99 then I'll just take it to soulspeed.


Thanks for the help.
