Alignment in Houston?
I took mine to NTB and left before they ever drove it, wasn't getting any warm feelings from talking to them. So who do you trust with your vette in Houston? Thanks.

Your intuition was right - my advice is to avoid NTB completely. I had two experiences at two separate NTB's in Houston and both ended up bad - fortunately such experience was not in the Vette. Sorry I don't have a recommendation on your alignment qustion.

took my gto to the NTB over off 45 near 646 and guy walked in threw the keys down on the desk said tires were bad and walked off. I was like WTF, talked to another guy and told him what happened. He went and looked at tires and said they looked fine just out of date. I replaced tires (not at NTB), and wheel is still off and allignment is still screwed up. I have a 6 month warrenty I guess I could just live up there for the next 6 monthes untill they get it right.

Took my daily driver to southwest alignment today. Top notch work. Vette is going in soon. They have taken good care of it on the past and have lots of boards to accommodate lowered rides.

I recommend C&C's Northside Motors. Curt will take care of you. His price was cheaper than what the dealer charges to boot.

well after all of my bashing of the NTB on 646 I took it to the NTB off of Bay area. I told them the issue and how un happy I was with the other shop. The put it on the rack and come to find out the wheel hub assembly on drivers side was bad. This was replaced realligned and rides 100 times better. Still curious why other place couldn't figure that out.

What a difference in ride, noise reduction, and traction.
My car is lowered and with ground effects, so not an easy car to get on a lift to align but Greg knows what he is doing. Had no issues with dragging anything thanks to his board ramps.
