4 wheel alignment - Southern Indiana

Does anyone know of an alignment center in Southern Indiana that will work on Mercedes. Everyone I've been to so far says they can't do it due to specialist tools. I don't want to have to go to the dealer for this.

Thanks

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
That is

not a job you leave to NTB or pep boys. The dealer has the Hunter machine required for MB and some shops that are installers for tirerack have the hunter machines.
It is about the only job in the book that I say find the hunter and if that means dealer it is money well spent.

May i ask why you need it aligned? That is usually for bent parts or worn parts replaced or you lower it.
Do you have some sort of drifting lane issue or odd tire wear ?

I've had the inner and outer tie rod ends swapped and now the steering wheel is about 5 degrees off center in a straight line

Do you know of any shops in southern indiana that have the hunter machine?

Thanks

If you really don't want dealer in this, you may go to find a mercedes authorized body shop. I had my previous MB aligned in a body shop after being rear ended. I think they should all have the required alignment tools because they deal with accident MB all the time.
