Agreed. One way that’s worked for me is to ask a couple body shops where they send cars that need alignment work. I found a very crummy looking place. They did a good job with used parts I sourced for my crashed 1999 Civic. When I later needed help undoing the big nut on the end of an axle they had worked on, they got me in and out in minutes despite being busy, and at no charge.
