[s-cars] Alignment shops in NJ?

[Bruce Mendel]

T,

I dropped by Flemington Audi one day when I was having my TPS seizure, and I
was surprised at how helpful and enthusiastic they were. Looked up part
prices for me, put VAG tool on my car and gave me printout, all on a
"drop-in" with zero notice.

They may be more expensive than independent, and no idea how competent they
are, but I was pleasantly surprised at their willingness to help out for
free.
