Where is a good place to get an alignment done in the NW metro?

It took me three tries, but I finally found a guy that set my car to the specs I asked for and didn't cause any damage. The first shop was so far off my specs it wasn't funny. The rear camber measured -2.9° when I asked for -1.8°. The second shop over-torqued the nut on my SBC ball joint and broke it. They also cut a slit in the other SPC ball joint. I had to replace them both.

This last guy came highly recommended by the autocross crowd, so I gave him a try. It's not a fancy place, but he'll do it right and at a reasonable price. Check out http://www.thealignmentguy.com. I ended up at -1.5° up front and -1.8° in back with zero toe all around. I know it's on the extreme side for a street setup, but it handles like a go-kart!

Ah I think all the evo guys were raving about him...if thats the one then yes he is the man to go to, specially if you have coilovers.
