I don't know if the dodge dealer or pepper jacks are close to it, but I know its right by the mall. The address there is
National Tire & Battery
8303 Broadway
Merrillville, IN 46410
(219) 769-2700
I have also heard they are good with alignments, and they run about $65 for a 6 month/6,000 mile warranty, they also have different packages, I think a one year, three year, and five year.

we do alignments at our shop..
unfortunatly we're using a old Hunter (K111) machine that can't do sh*t!
and i'm always have to correct the mistakes that the machine makes...
i've worked with other hunter machines before and they all were newer machines and they were always on the money..
but this contraption from the past is something i would like to smack with a air hammer..

In Steger, IL --- Scott's U-Save does pretty good work as well. I have had nothing but very good service from them, especially from their allignment shop.
Just be careful that if you have anything else done that requires taking off your tires, that you check the torque on them afterwards - like before you leave the parking lot. They tend to overtighten them WAAAAYYYYY too much.

I asked for him to do it but I'm not sure who actually did the work. I had to drop the car off and pick it up later. I was actually worried about it coming out good and low and behold....straight as an arrow.
