I brought my car in after being recommended for a wheel alignment by Discount Tires which also provided a discount coupon. I was able to get in right away. Dale was very nice and knowledgable, answered all of my questions and only recommended the work I really needed. He gave me upgrade options so I could make an informed decisions but was not trying to oversell. I am happy with my experience and I would recommend RC Auto & Smog. Give them a try!
