hey man, I live in sugarland, which is 5 min down the road from houston, try brake check on Hwy 6 in sugarland, that is where I get my alignments. They may do it or not, they do mine because I have been going there for over 4 yrs. and am a loyal customer to them. give them a call or go there, maybe dont tell them your car is dropped. there number is 281-313-3513. Dan is the guy I would ask for, but he is working at another store for like 2 months and the other manager there, Darell is kind of a ***, so watch out. he does things by the book, if you know what I mean.

NTB will definitely do it and they'll give you a free lifetime alignment too, so you can't lose there !

SW alignment does the best work. They're one of a few shops that can do the custom camber specs for Supra owners and such.

Finally I got my car done at SW alignment for 50$ Ask for the guy name "Boon"

I found the Ferrari and Benley doing the alignment the day I went there. They are professional.


Thank you dragoon for recommend \(^0^)/

Yeah, SW Alignment is THE best!

NTB will do alignments for lowered cars, but they can't ever get it right. It's just a huge headache. I took my car to two different NTBs. The only thing they did was put my car back within specs, but my alignment was still kinda off.

That is what a alignment is supposed to do, get your car back within factory specs, what else do you want.

Are you talking to me? I said NTB did put my car back within specs, but it was still pulling a bit. I'm within specs now after SW Alignment, but my car is going perfectly straight. I guess alignment values are just sensitive. *shrugs*

Apparently NTB didnt put you within specs because you said now SW alignment put you within specs and your car drives straight, so NTB didnt do it good.

Ok, forget it... I'm not even gonna argue about this. I have both print-outs from NTB and SW Alignment. Both are within specs, just with the toe adjusted a couple of points on the SW Alignment. There is a lower to upper range to be within specs, ya know?

Well apparently NTB didnt do a good job if your car was still pulling, and sw did because now your car isnt pulling.

True true.

That's why I originally said NTB will do alignment for lowered cars, but they've been nothing but a big headache for me.
