Default good alignments in the dfw area

Whats up guys. I just installed a bmr k member, upper and lower a arm and the bmr manual steering rack and pinion. Where is there a good place in the dallas fort worth area to get an alignment? I refuse to bring this car to firestone or ntb.

Well I guess your against it but my son is L1 tech at Firestone in Denton on Brinker/Loop 288. He has a good running WS6 and he aligns his as does my C5 Z06 and many other Corvettes in my community. Ask for Joe C if you change your mind.

^^^^^
it is not so much as to where a " tech" works, but more so as to how one works,I suggest that before having any work preformed ask to speak to the "Tech", if tech is not instrested or knowlegeable, then move on to another shop.ask around the "car ppl" in your town will know where to go-do your reserch
I worked in a small town small shop retired after 30 years and app 76500 autos aligned
( 50 autos per week x 51 weeks per year x 30 years= app 76k units)
first 10 years we worked 52 weeks per year with no vacation
made a good living and a lot of friends
