What do you mean by alignment to recon specs?
Do you mean that some shops won't do alignment on recon specs, or that only some shops have the capabilities to do an alignment on recon specs?

Car Info: about 30 miles a day
recon used to require the alignment within 30 days of the inspection so unless that's changed make sure you have an appointment before going. otherwise you'll have to go back and get new paperwork from the shop and they might want to charge you for another alignment.

Island Tire and Brake (if you want a "specific" camber/toe)...most autocross and people that want an exact alignment goes here...they will put both sides almost identical. Very happy with results.
RAD...they have a new alignment machine that is awesome. I recently took my Forester there to have aligned...I believe they can be as accurate as the Island Tire and Brake guys but they pretty much put it in spec....probably costs a few extra $$ to get it exact. Very happy with results.
I use to go to Lindsey's near the McKinley car wash...but there alignment was pretty much "spec" only...nothing fancy or special...cheap though. Happy with results back in the days when I wasn't so particular and used stock rims/tires.
Island Tire and Brake = $$$
RAD = $$
Lindsey's = $$
