John,
You will need to seek a shop that will take the time and effort to resolve bumpsteer issues. In most cases, it is necessary to move the steering box (and idler arm) mounting positions OR the tie rod end attachments on the steering arms in order to aleviate bumpsteer. Many alignment shops just aren't interested in putting a lot of time and effort into correcting bumpsteer, at least that has been my experience.
Might be just as easy and effective to work on the bumpsteer issue yourself. I would recommend Dave Morgan's "Doorslammers" book as a good starting point for this project.
