Anyone have good experiences with alignment shops in the South West Fort Worth Area? I'm talking Benbrook or farther south on 377. Going into Fort Worth or Arlington would be okay but driving all the way into Dallas gets a tad annoying.

Thanks!

The only place I can think of in Benbrook or close would be Marc's Automotive. I'm not certain they do alignments, but I think they might. What you really want to look for with the Z is an NTB store with an in-ground alignment rack... especially if you're lowered.

If Benbrook works then you're already close to everything off Bryant Irvin/Hulen or even Camp Bowie area.

 

Where is brenbook at? Nvm just looked it up. I go to the firestone in Crowley, TX. It's the only firestone I go to and one of the few around here that has an in ground rack. Reason I go to this one is because they have a specific guy that I go to and they have never gave me problems when I had my z (I had them align it multiple times because I kept messing with my Z suspension). I now go there with my g. I literally drive 45 miles over there to get an alignment..yes I'm picky.

Some of the other guys prefer corner balancing alignment and I think we have a guy that hangs in our lounge that does it. I forget his username. If you're interested in the guy I go to send me a pm I'll have to dig up his name.

 

Corner balancing is like $500 bucks !

All of us around north Dallas have bought the NTB 5 yr alignment warranty....but I think they altered it since we all would go in there with our after market camber arms and toe arms and ask them to put it at -2 camber out of spec.
NTB says they won't work on aftermarket suspension anymore under that warranty. Mine is all used up anyways.

Scott can do your alignment for you...or Eric has the same components to do the alignment from his garage. It works really well.

PM STEIDZ on here.

 

That's pretty ghey of NTB. Firestone hasn't given me any problems yet *crosses fingers*. They mess with aftermarket suspension, and let me dial my camber and toe to where I want it to be.

 

Yeah, that wouldn't be to bad a drive on top of what I already have tot do to get to Benbrook. Whats up there that you've been to?

 

they honored mine when i last got aligned, when i replaced shocks... they werent too happy about it but i told them that i entered into a contract with them and they had to honor it.....

 

I've never actually used any shops in that area for my Z. I lived in that area for years, but never had a lowered car while over there so I can't speak from experience on shops over there.

You could use Q's suggestion for the Crowley option.

 

I take mine to the Nissan dealership in Weatherford, the alignment guy only charges me $20 to do it.

 

I tried a Firestone and a Christian Brother. Both refused to do a custom alignment.

I ended up waiting for a slot at PST (located @ MotorSports Ranch) and they always do a good job but they are busy all the time.

I did however find another place that may do it called Ron Cullers Automotive. I stopped by unrelated to my alignment issue and the guy said they work on a few cars that race at MotorSports Ranch.

 

Ntb will do it, if you have camber arms they will give ya a little hell but still do it

 

This is true. They will do it, but they won't mess with the camber arm itself. They will only fine tune it from the bottom. You'll want to get it as close as possible on your own and then have a shop fine tune it.

Just make the drive up to one of us for a "close, but not laser precise" alignment and then go to a shop.

 

Which firestone did you go to?

 

Crowley, TX

 

Crowley is the one I go to. What are you trying to do specifically (as far as settings. Are you trying to set more camber etc?)? There's a specific guy there that works on my car when I go there and he put it to whatever setting I wanted my car to sit at.
