No More Alignments
Hey guys, just wanted to let y'all know that my buddy Patrick that has done a few alignments for guys on here no longer works with David McDavid Acura in Plano, and unfortunately Land Rover of Frisco (his new gig) doesn't have an alignment rack low enough for our cars to drive on (he already has to use fabbed up wooden ramps he made to put his truck on there), so he can't do anymore alignments.
Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up.

Me too. LOL. He text me last night and told me, right as I was texting him to ask about installing my struts this weekend. So I will need to get an alignment either Saturday afternoon after the Charter guy leaves my apt, or Sunday...

Sorry that happened. He usually keeps up with things, but I know there were some other personal things going on awhile back that he didn't even tell me about, so it might have just slipped his mind.

Thanks, I will keep that place in mind.
I have been considering going to a "chain" shop and getting a lifetime alignment, that way if I am ever in another state/city I can get it done for free, as long as it is acknowledged by the parent company, and not just a single shop.

Thats a good idea, but a couple places i checked liked NTB wont touch a lowered car. I know some locations will do it, but its hit and miss.
What makes no sense is the NTB i went to had an in ground rack.

Some people think that because it's lowered, the people did it wrong, and it will never be possible to get it back within factory specs. They are just lazy.

Is this over off of 35 and Royal? Ron Johnson? I worked for him a long time ago when I was laid off. Good guy and a straight shooter.
