Recommendation for performance alignment in Baltimore area?

Once I install my RDR rear lower control arms, I'd like to have a shop do the camber out back. Any recommendations from you Marylanders/NoVAers?

Thanks...

Marty

The only one I've used isn't exactly Baltimore area. Curry's (http://www.currysauto.com/index.asp) is VERY good, but their three locations are all on the west side of DC.

Perfect. A friend from the BMW arena also advised me to see them. Not a problem as I have to drive in to work in Bethesda (NIH) once or twice a week... Thanks for the heads-up!

Not yet. I got busy again and had to put it off, but I plan to call/visit soon.

By the way, when (if) you go to Curry's for your alignment, be sure to tell them you want before and after readings. That way you'll get a sense for the alignment from the factory (it varies) so you'll have a better idea of just how much you're changing things from what you're used to.

Anyone needing this sort of thing done around the Baltimore area should check out Roche's Front End and Frame north of the city on Falls Road. They set my camber and did a front end alignment for $80. Highly skilled guys - ask for Gregg!!!
