Default Alignment Shop needed (Houston Area)

Need to locate a good alignment shop in the Houston/Sugar Land area to fix my 2003 feathering problem. I have tried Brake Check, Meineke, Mossy Nissan dealership, but still having feathering problem after 10k miles after replaced new tires. Car has around 65k miles now.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about sugarland, but my team takes our cars to "Absolute Suspension" in Tomball. It's a family owned backwoods shop owned by the ex pitcrew chief of a racing team. Can't remember the team name off the top of my head. He has custom ramps for lowered cars, treats your car very well, won't haggle you about aftermarket suspension work. They basically align it as best as possible. I had mine aligned almost 3 years ago went I lowered the car. The alignment is still holding good to this day. BTW, you won't recieve warranty work on lowered vehicles.

I know of a Firestone around South-East Houston that does some pretty good work. The manager owns a twin turbo 300ZX and also an '03 350Z so he knows our cars pretty well. I almost always see them working on either a 350Z or a 300ZX, Im surprised if they arent. You can get a lifetime warranty for a lil over $100, take it back anytime and they will do it. They've always treated my Z with respect. If you want the exact location just let me know.

Not a bad deal. $100.00 w/warranty. I guess it's depends on which Firestone one goes to. The couple I visited wouldn't take my Z because they didn't have custom ramps to accomodate it. They suggested I find a shop that had the old school pit alignment set-up. The only place I know that has this set up is Downtown Alignment on Mcgowen, but it's hard to get an appointment with those guys and last time I went they left one of my lugs off.
