School me about alignment pls

I think this is relevant to this thread. Does anyone recommend taking the car to chain stores such as Firestone or Discount Tires to do the alignment? They say they have the specs. Or should it be done by my Indy?

My first alignment was done at a local tire store with an "experienced" alignment tech who was known for getting good results. Ask around within your local PCA or other car club. They don't have to be a Porsche expert to get it right on a stock car.

Once I went with coilover suspension I wanted a complete competition setup and corner balance which required a more sophisticated shop.

It's not necessarily the 'place' you take it, it's the mechanic who works there
