Houston independent shop recommendation for alignment?

Since alignments aren't warranty work, does anyone have a recommendation for a local shop to get one? I just got new tires and want to make sure they wear properly.

Benson's Wheel Alignment. They are waaaay south but it's worth the trip.

It cost around $80 if I remember correctly.

Google them and you will read nothing but good reviews about this place.

Scott, also try Southwest Alignment (ask for Greg, the owner). They have done about 10 Supra's for me, my Lexus, BMW and my Viper. Just make sure GREG is the one doing the alignment...
Peter
p.s. you can tell him Peter with the Black Supra sent you, he'll take care of you...

Yes, Greg (Southwest) is very good, especially for lowered cars or specialty cars. Make sure he is the one doing it because his other worker tried to scam me stating that it needed more work because it was too off of alignment and tried to charge me an extra $50. Tried to charge me $125 for alignment on my minivan when my NSX was only $75.
