Hi guys, I am in the Fairfax, VA area. I just had a really bad experience with an NTB who not only damaged my wheels by using the wrong mounting hooks for the alignment heads ,but also failed to retighten one of the camber bolts after aligning, which (aside from the alignment being off now I'm sure) caused suspension noise turning the wheel, until I checked and found the bolt loose, and tightened it.
Has anyone had a Marauder aligned in the VA/DC/MD area and was satisfied with the work done? I need to know that the shop is going to use a torque wrench (I have never seen an alignment shop use a torque wrench before, ever, which sucks) and use the correct specific alignment head hooks for our wheels. I don't understand why getting an alignment is always a nightmare, but it is.

My brother & I had our Cobra aligned at Executive Tire in Rockville (off of Gude Drive)
(301) 294-8820
They do lots of high end cars and they do it right.
We didn't want some guy at Walmart scratching 4K worth of pin drive Cobra rims.

Ok this is good information. I will check into Executive and the place in Rising Sun. I am willing to drive a little ways to have this done right. Believe it or not the local Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealers do not have the right fixtures for the Marauder wheels, and turned me away. I have been to 8 places and none of them had the right alignment head mounting hooks. The one place that failed to turn me away damaged my wheels and they have to have the clear touched up at a wheel collision specialist this week. AND the alignment they did is awful, they forgot to tighten one of the camber bolts and it went to hell fast.

LOL you guys and your "Carfixer" alignments, it is a stock alignment more or less in the center of the range.
