Alignments and the steering angle sensor

I've called several places in the Austin area about an alignment and they are all telling me that they cannot do this due to the steering angle sensor. I keep hearing take it to the dealer. Now I know several of yall have gone to firestone and had no complaints. Any reccommendations?

Tell them it's not something you're concerned about (because it isn't).

But I'd also make sure you're going to a decent alignment shop, especially if you're lowered at all.

Screw firestone! They totally jacked up my alignment...

after repeatedly asking them if they could align this vehicle, they totally botched the job.

Slip sensor was indicatating, brakes were trying to adjust at every low speed turn...

Afterwards I took it to the dealer anyway... Firestone would not refund, simply offered to realign again. First time took 4hrs!
