Default Alignment woes

Does anyone in the Dallas area know where I could get a GOOD and PROPER alignment done? I've had issues with Triple A in Garland and Young Chevrolet. Thanks for your help.

I don't know about the Dallas area, but I've been getting mine done at the local Firestone MasterCare shop. They have the new equipment that can do 18" wheels, and they use the plastic clamps that don't scratch the rims. I had them set my coupe to the specs that came up on their computer, but here's a link that seems to be popular if you want something specific. http://www.vbandp.com/instructions/h...ruct/align.htm
:cheers:

I agree with the Firestone recommendation. They did an excellent job adjusting my ride to the advanced street setting on the VBandP page and my car rode excellently...
