Quality alignment shops in Dallas?
I'll be needing an alignment soon and wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions.
I tried Gary's Alignment on Preston road (good reviews) last year and they dialed in waay too much front toe and put at least 2 scratches on all 4 wheels. And I'd rather not give my money to a dealership to do this. So if anyone knows of an honest alignment place let me know! It doesn't have to be cheap.

I go to Lewis Auto in rowlett texas.
the main reason is that there is T1 (tuning shop, famous in GTR, and I get my tunes from there) across the road. also, they purchased a new alignment machine last year. they only charge $60, so I went there twice already.

Alignment Shop - Club Lexus Forums I took some pic of the shop when I was there, red lexus is mine. I requested to adjust the ride height then do the alignment. This guy works on plenty of performance/modified cars before. He's honest and can cater to any custom alignment. My writeup there was a little long but it's only because his level of service and care for my car really made me feel comfortable. |

I'm raising my own thread from the grave!
I ended up taking cv129's advice (thanks!) after speaking with Bobby on the phone. They work on all kinds of vehicles. I saw a semi, a jeep and a Z06 in there with me. They have long ramp extensions for lowered vehicles. The owner knows all about sports cars and is very meticulous in his work. After he took his measurements, we went back into the shop and discussed options on how to best set up the toe and camber for a balance of tire life and cornering performance. Highly recommended!

The car feels way better in the corners now. I had them take out most of the toe-in on the front and rear. The front wheels are now nearly parallel and I love it!
I also brought the rear camber closer to factory specs at -1.8 degrees. My front arms are stock non-adjustable and are at -1.5 degrees. The steering wheel is perfectly centered which is a big thing for me. Some shops can't get that right. They are also very careful to not scrape or dent wheels. At $85 they're definitely recommended!
