Default Good place in the area to get custom alignment?

Is there anywhere in this area that will do the Honda UK alignment for our cars for cheap? I heard some dealers will do it for you, but I dunno if any in this area will...

Just got new RE050s and want to get the car properly aligned ... ($116/tire for RE050A rears on tirerack.com ... w00t!).

Thanks guys!

I've gone to The Tire Shop out in Leesburg both times I've needed an alignment. Nothing but good things to say about them

Ultimate in Sterling also does alignments but last I heard they were raising up the prices of alignments on our cars for some odd reason. You could give them a call and check it out.

I got RE050As in 255/40 YR17 ... $116 plus shipping from TireRack. Ordered it at 4pm on Tuesday, arrived on Wednesday ...

The thing is, the tread width on the 245/40s from the RE050s is 9.0"s ... the tread width on the 255/40 from the RE050A is 9.1"s .. I figure 0.1" isn't gonna make a huge difference on the balance of the car.

The RE050As are assymetrical, so you gotta make sure they get mounted correctly ... but otherwise should have almost the exact same tread pattern as the RE050.

Any idea on the price for an alignment at Tire Shop?
