Question Recommended place to get an alignment

Need a 4 wheel alignment and have gotten quotes from several places and wanted your input of your experience with them or where I should go.

-Dealership said it is $109 (I have a coupon which would make it $85)
-NTB said $79 for 6 month warranty and $109 for 1 yr warranty
-Midas said $70 ($10 off coupon would make it $60)
-Firestone something like $140 for 3 yr warranty (however, I have read lots of people saying firestone sucks... 3+ hrs wait time, horrible customer service, alignments not even right and having to go back 2-3 times to get it fixed). I'd rather not deal with this.

Right now I'm leaning towards NTB's 1 year deal. Any of your experiences/input?

K c'mon guys no help? I've been reading a bunch of reviews for the different places and just read a lot of bad experiences at NTB so I am now thinking of going to my dealer instead... yes it might be a little more expensive but I know true Acura pros are working on it and not some lazy/possibly ignorant 19 yr old who will tell me I need $800 in repairs.

This should go into the Regions area. I'll move it and perhaps some locals will help........

Na it's alright. I had a coupon from my dealer for even more off the alignment so took it there. I don't trust NTB or Firestone, and that Dallas Frame and Alignment, although it has a great reputation, wants to charge me 2x what the dealer will do it for. Meh.
