Alignment in Chicagoland?

Can anyone recommend where to take my MB in for full alignment in the Chicago area?
Just did a full suspension refresh-front: koni yellows with eibach springs, upper & lower control arms, tie rods. Back: springs and shocks.
Thank you.

Any Firestone can get it done for you. I had my C32 done there after a front end refresh. They also have a lifetime option for about $75 more than the standard, one time price.

Did you take your car to MB for an alignment?

Yes. Took the car to Addison Wheel Alignment. Located on Lake Street. http://addisonwheelalignment.com
Read solid reviews. $80 front and $80 for the back. Fast turn around due to a couple cancelations. He did a great job. Car handles great. I would definitely recommend it.

I generally avoid the Firestone place. Most of them will tell you that they are not equipped to do MB alignments. Others will tell you they can do it, no prob but 45 min later they say otherwise. I don't trust their techs or their equipment.
And btw MB of Westmont IL costs about $130 for a full alignment.....
