I dropped the vibe last summer and had my 17 inch low-pros on and didn't get it aligned. Does anyone know if there are places in Northeast Ohio or any chains of shops that are able to do alignments on dropped cars?Around me are PepBoys, Advance AutoParts, and many other places. I've noticed alot more road noise and shaking this time around w/ the wheels, plus she's long overdue for an alignment.I have the Springtech springs that claimed a 1.5 to 1.75 inch drop.

might be time to check your tire balance as well. But as for an alignment you just need to make sure they can drive it onto their rack. Otherwise pretty much anyone could do it. I'd look for places that have the latest up to date equipment. I bet even Toyota or a GM dealership could align it for you.

My Pontiac Dealer cherged $56.95 for front/rear alignment when they installed my "free" replacement Conti's (for which they charged me $77.50 for mounting, valve stems and balancing.) All plus tax of course but they must have forgotten to add the "shop materials".
