Alignment shop in Virginia?

Maybe there's a hidden gem here in Fredericksburg, but I haven't found it. Anyone know of a good alignment shop between Richmond and DC that speaks Mopar?

Or in western VA/WVA between Harrisonburg and Martinsburg to the north

Try Pattons Automotive in Old town Fredericksburg. My Friend Jimmy, owns Graves Automotive right next Door, He only works on Old stuff and all the Alignments he gets done go next Door to Patton's. You make an Appointment with them, and when its an old car, they have a guy that comes in to do only old car alignments, on a machine from the 70's. everyone i have had done there has been spot on perfect. Here is the address.

504 Kenmore Ave, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Thank you. I've had the car at Patton's and a younger man named Lucas worked on it. He says he got it pretty close to my specs, but there's no printout so I can't confirm it. It's got the offset upper control arm bushings in it, and I wanted +3* caster, -0.5* camber, and 1/8" toe-in. It has a new Borgeson power steering system, and the rest of the suspension is new and tight. I've confirmed no play between the steering wheel and the front wheels, but the steering just seems a little vague at speed near the center of travel, and a little unstable under braking. It also doesn't return to center on its own very well.

It's certainly drivable as is, and maybe my expectations are too high compared to the way new cars feel, but it just doesn't seem like there's enough caster in it. I'll put aftermarket upper control arms on it if I have to in order to get enough caster to take advantage of the power steering.
