"Should I take another shot at a different alignment shop? Thanks for the advice."
You KNOW the answer to this is YESSSSS.
I'd say this is an area where the dealer has the experience (and correct hardware
) to do it right.
Continental Imports (Independent) in Gainesville (if you're anywhere nearby) would be my first choice since Steve Brotherton has a stated interest (and known expertise!) in just this type of alignment.
