Northern Virginia alignment shop?

Can anyone recommend a shop in NoVa that will do a "track day" alignment, preferably a shop near or inside the Beltway? Running out of time to go to my distant sources, and the neighborhood places won't touch my specs.

I can recommend a great one up in Hagerstown, but that's a couple hours from you.

Ptuning in manassas va

its a little ways outside the beltway, maybe a half hour if its not rush hour traffic

Really? I'm always interested in a good shop that's fairly local.

Bonebreak Alignment. They actually race cars. I took him some alignment specs for my Mustang and told him I autocrossed and road raced it. His response:

"These settings look like a good start, but I'd up the camber a little, even out the caster, and zero out the toe."

He got the alignment 100% perfect. And only $79 for a front-end alignment with custom specs?

Even their website shows that they know what they're talking about with alignment: http://www.bonebraketire.com/service-description.htm?id=47236&name=alignments

I had the FD done a few years ago at Funktion auto. They're right off RT28 by Dulles, next door to Piper Motorsports:

These days I DIY using the alignment rack at the Sterling Sports Car Shop / Garage Club:

I like that DIY idea. Do they have folks there who can teach you how to use the alignment rack?

When my wife and I got married, I wanted to live in the country and she wanted to live in the city, so we compromised and now we live in the city.

Anything closer to Arlington?

They have a staff mechanic who shows you how to operate the equipment. You can also pay them a discounted rate to do jobs for you. They have a paint booth, a bunch of 2-post lifts (maybe 4?), the 4-post alignment rack, an indoor car wash, tire mounting/balancing, welding equipment, hydraulic press, etc. My biggest gripe is it's difficult to find the right hand tool because either someone else is using it or moved it so I usually bring my own.

That is so freaking cool... Shame it is so far away from me...

If I had some extra time I would go there with you and could show you how to do an alignment. Buttt I don't even know when my next day off is. We could always get some plexiglass plates, grease, and some string!

RRT in Sterling VA is great w/ BMWs. Mach V for Japanese AWD cars,

In Mt. Airy MD is Ed York's shop - he's a great guy and is the dean of the Summit Point Miata and IT racers.

I do my race car at home, the M3 goes to RRT and the Miata to York.
