Default Alignment on B7

I think my alignment might be out after running over some debris on the hwy. The local tire shop said they couldn't do an alignment on my car because of the ESP - is this true, has anyone had their B7 aligned by someone other than the Audi service department?

Default I think the correct statement should be, "Has anyone ever had their car aligned by Audi?" lol

Any tire place should be able to do an alignment, regardless of ESP. Try another one. Good luck

ESP has no bearing on performing an alignment. Find a more competent shop.

Default Yes...

after I had it lowered. They did have to move the subframe a bit to get the front right....$200. Go to a good performance type shop that has experience with Audis/quattro. I don't know how the ESP has anything to do with it?
