recommend shops? new hub

I installed my lower ball joints and tie rods over the weekend but didn't get a chance to get an alignment and figured I could make it to blacksburg...WRONG!!! about 250 miles in I heard a snapping noise and 2 lugs snapped off the front driver side hub, by the time i pulled over 4 of the 6 were gone.

I got the trucked towed to my apt. and the inside of the front tires are worn pretty bad. I really don't feel like screwing around with it as I want to get it aligned right after I replace the hub anyway.

Is there any shops you would recommend to replace the hub and do an alignment?

you must have had the alignment WAY off to do that.....

The insides of the tires are worn bad (250 miles ago they were evenly worn across). It also pulled to the left a decent amount.

I know I was stupid for not getting it aligned but it was my only way back to school since my motorcycle just got a hole in the rear tire.

I had a lot of work done by Tim at Pride and Joy back this spring. He does real good work. He didn't put a tone ring on my rear carrier when he installed the gears and tru trac, so my electronically controlled trans wasn't shifting right. He made it right the next day for no charge. It took him a while to get my stuff done, but he had a lot to do and was also building a house at the time. All other work was great! I would recommend him.
