    New to Charleston SC area and looking for a recommendation for a good alignment shop that's going to get my specs the way I want them and that potentially specializes in alignments. I am in Mt. Pleasant area but would travel a bit for a good shop.

    Also what's a good rate for a 4 wheel alignment, rotate and balance down here? Have seen them anywhere rom $80-$140. N. Charleston Toyota dealer sent me flyer for $80, but some have said stay away from them.

    Thanks in advance!

    I used to do them for all the locals Tacoma guys in the area but I changed shops and no longer have access to a alignment machine. But Gerald's specializes in alignments as well so if you give them the specs you need they will do it they are probably the only alignment shop around where if you have your own specs they'll do it for you

    Ok so 1" of lift you can have them dial it in with almost stock settings as long as everything is in the green
