Default Z06 friendly alignment shops NW Houston wanted

Anybody got a good shop to recommend for alignment and possibly tire mounting and balancing??? Need to button up some final details so I can get my baby looking like one bada$$ Vette.

Southwest alignment is the best that I've found.

Their shop isn't too impressive to look at but they know their stuff.

I ended up using Sal's Auto Sports and I highly recommend those guys! They did everything possible to insure I was happy with their service. I needed tires mounted, shock replacement, and alignment. Sal himself took my rims and tires to a shop he knew would not scar nor damage the rims. The shop also laser balanced the wheels. Was able to chat with Oscar while doing the alignment and got the specs I wanted with no issues. They even stayed around past closing time and helped me fix a clunking noise I heard when driving off. Great guys and friendly too. I will definitely be going back. And Sal just got an 08 Vette so he is part of the family Couldn't be happier!

they are rapidly going down hill. Victor (lead tech) is the only person in the whole building left that i trust and he will be leaving very soon. when he does i will certainly never set foot in corvettes of houston or corvette world again. the new ownership is ruining that place and in a hurry.

Corvettes of Houston is the worst shop I have ever dealt with. Long story short they didn't tighten down my control arm bolts and didn't give a crap when a sensor burned out. I wouldn't send anyone to that place unless I wanted them to have an "accident"

I have heard many claims about them recently screwing up cars after I posted my story.

i think the new ownership is trying to put themselves out of business. i guess they have been incharge for a lil over 2 years now and in the last 6 months or so made huge changes, and not for the better.

Wow, very sorry to hear bad stuff about Corvettes of Houston! Always had great service and liked the guys who worked there. But in truth it's been a while since I was there. So let me rephrase what I said above:

Very good experience with Corvettes of Houston up to and including my last visit in September.

Hope the new owner gets it together.
