Default (HOU) Anyone know of a good place for an alignment near the Galleria area...

I checked with NTB, but thought someone may have a better suggestion or experience with another place. Also, how much should it cost? Thanks

I believe I've heard Southwest Alignment Service mentioned before. They're located at 6345 Beverly Hill near Richmond if I recall correctly (ph. 713-783-5282). Hopefully, someone else can post here to confirm this or tell me I'm completely wrong.

Yep, one block and a half east of Hillcroft and just on block south of Richmond Ave. Good with lowered cars as well.

I went today. The owner aligned my car and I am completely 100% VERY satisfied with their work. I watched the entire process from beginning to end from under the car or wherever I wanted to be and this guy is thorough. I won't ever go anywhere else. Yes, lowered cars are fine.

I called a dozen places before I went to SW Alignment.....no one would/could do it because of how low my car is.....SW pulled through in a big way and did an awesome job.

Thanks for the recommendation guys.

Haven't done an alignment for a while.........

Do they still use those large mechanical sensors that grip onto the rim lips?? Had these leave marks on my alum. wheels from a previous car.

Just curious.

Yes, those crab looking things are necessary for the alignment, however, I didn't notice any marks on mine. I think they had rubber boots. I didn't notice any marks on mine but the owner of the place did mine and I could see he was being extremely careful. He will do the car at a slow pace to make sure everything is exactly perfect. He is not trying to get one out and the next one in. I can tell you, I will never go anywhere else.

I had my car aligned at Courtesy Chev while it was in for the leaky diff. It came back with 3 marks on each wheel. I will never return.
