Some give you nice numbers. But they may be wrong or fantasy. I had my racer done at a reputable shop, went off to a Poc race in Las Vegas,with expensive new pirrelli slicks and corded one in a 20 min practice..they left a tie rod loose. So I ended up with old tires and slow laps after spending abouta grand to race... that's when I began doing ALL my own work... I use a digital "smart" level, strings and a tape measure..
