Default Wheel Alignment

Where do you take your S2000 for a wheel alignment in Austin? I appreciate your recommendations.

I know a guy at NTB in Round Rock who does them for $30 cash. He does a pretty good job, but he is only free on Saturdays. Send me a PM, I'll give you his info. He can do any alignment spec you want, so have the specs ready. Its a laser machine w/ individual modules for each wheel (no strings or anything like that), completely independent adjustment for each wheel. He'll give you a printout too. Tipping him is a good idea
He does lots of auto-xers cars.

The NTB on N. 183 near Lakeline did a great job for me. Have your specs ready if you don't want stock and they'll let you sit in the car to get the weight just right. I used the UK alignment specs but increased rear camber from -2 to -2.5 degrees.
The 183 location has the new Hunter unit with laser heads that replaced their old machine (that worked fine too). Be prepared to spend more than $30.00 cash however, more like $65.00.

The guy I know at NTB does them for $30 "on the side" when business is low. Dont ask me how the front desk doesnt know he is working on his own customers, but he does it all the time. He will let you watch, or sit in the car as well. I usally give him a tip, so its like $40 an alignment. You need to call him up, and see if he can fit you in or not.

Thank you Kevin and SVann for your recommendations. I'll give NTB a jingle.
