Best Tire Alignment Equipment?

Gonna purchase some new tires shortly because my alignment is bad. What is the best alignment equipment to use? I'm thinking of going to either Tire Kingdom, Goodyear or MB dealer here in south Florida. Thanks!

I would think any good tire shop would have a good alignment rig.

Your question made reminded me of the laughing bear signs I'd see in shops that had their alignment equipment. A trip to their website shows some pretty sophisticated equipment. I don't know that they are the best but they've been around for a long time and if you want to make your decision on what equipment the shop uses, that might be a starting point. Other than that, I might look for a shop that does a lot of performance mods or quality wheel business (not the chromed this or that but good after market wheels) since they sometimes require a new alignment or at least attract that business.

I've had alignments done with this system on some of my cars. Now I know who makes it. Thanks!
