Good alignment shops in the Boston area?

Does anyone know any good places to bring my unmodified ML for an alignment in the Boston area? Or even if there's a dealer that charges a reasonable price? Thanks.

Give Hatch & Sons a call...www.hatchandsons.com

they're located in Wayland, MA. They have two labor rates...one is for repairs and one for maintanence. The repairs labor rate is $97.50 / hour and the Maintanence is $60 / hour.

For alignment they charge the $60 / hour rate I believe (that's what they've been charging me for oil changes, rotate, balance, etc)

Ask for Ed in the service dept...nice guy.

Thangs gdawgc220. Out of curiosity, would anybody recommend a place like NTB? I'm probably going to get a set of tires there pretty soon, and wondering if I should just have the alignment done there as well.

all the national chains are independently owned, so each shop doesn't have the same service (in terms of workers, quality of job, etc) as the last one you went to.

I try to stay away from chains as usually they don't know what they're doing on foreign cars. For something like an alignment, give it a shot...it's not that difficult of a job, but you never know who can mess up simple :p
