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..
