Default Wheel alignments for lowered cars...

I'm in need for an alignment pretty badly but none of the major shops like Firestone will do it for me since my car is lowered. Does anyone know of big places to get it done that might be here in Charlotte, nc too? Or if anyone lives here lemme know where you get it done...
Thanks

You need to call around and ask if the shop has an alignment machine that is built flush with the ground. The majority of places have older machines where they have to drive your car up a small ramp/incline to get it on the lift. Some newer places will have the aligment lift built flush to the ground, so there's no problem with driving a lowere car on it. Call around first instead of wasting time and gas driving around looking for one.
