Default alignment shops [DFW area]

I had my car lowered on the stock bolts a few weeks ago and need to get an alignment done. Looking for a reputable place in the DFW area. Any suggestions??

I went to the NTB in White Settlement an hour away because they were the only place that could fit my car on the machine.

they might cost a bit more, but PST at MSR in Cresson did a great job on mine after I added coilovers and sways

Agree on RUF. Great guys... just a bit on the expensive side. I was encouraged to go in the shop and watch the guy work.

I've also gone to Lane's (not sure of the spelling) on Euless Main just north of 183. At the time, several years ago, they were doing a lot of work for the autox guys.

Totally agree on RUF auto centre. Went up there on tuesday for an alignment. Great people and a great place. They will talk with you to see what your goals are with your car and align your car based on what your needs are. They have some really nice cars up there as well. Hans told me to feel free to wander around and check them all out while I was waiting.

price for me was $149 for the alignment

I actually lowered my car as well and needed new tires on the front, so I was looking around the area about a month ago. I went to NTB, a local Goodyear shop, and Kauffman Tire in Plano. I had actually been to Kauffman tire before (in my Yukon) so i took the car there. I soon realized that was a bad idea. They don't have the right equipment to align lowered Vettes. I'm not even sure I would take a stock Vette there after watching these lazy *** fools try and figure out how to do this. After watching them for about 10 minutes I got my keys and my car and left. I cruised over to Huffines Chevrolet (where I bought my car) and had them do it. I was in and out in an hour and a half with an alignment and an oil change (it was under $140 for both). I know a lot of you don't recommend dealers, but in this case it was the best option.
