Just dropped my new Mustang with a set of Ultralites and decided to get the camber checked. Alignments are one of the few things I am forced to bring my car to a shop for, but I have no choice. I decided to wait while they did the alignment, and sure enough the tech comes in and says "both inner tie rods are bad, and the driver's lower ball joint is bad - but we can fix it for you for XXX dollars."

I replied "Did you even bother to notice there were less than 4,000 miles on the car, you fucking crook? Take it off the rack and give me my keys."

Did this idiot really think I would fall for that? People like this should have raw meat shoved down their throat and starving pit bulls shoved up their asses.

Rant off.

It's a place in Pearland, Texas. Not a national chain, just a mom & pop shop. I know, I should have known better. But I just moved to the area and it's conveniently located near my house. Never again.

Does anyone know a good place in his area that he can trust and does good work?

I usually go to Southwest Alignment. Been going there for 12 years, and should have gone there to begin with.

I started using them when I noticed Vettes, Ferraris, Vipers, and other cool cars lined up for service. Prices are good too - about $60.
