I have tried 3 places.
Dealership -- did not torque things right.
Sears Barton creek -- their sheet stated the steering is not set straight ... I knew I would be going back to them as the car tracked perfectly and sure enough the second time it was set correctly.
Soul Speed and Performance ... I have developed friendship with them. Bit pricy and you may need to get an appointment few days in advance. If you go there tell Collins that Salim said hello. I dont get nay discount or kick backs.

Soul Speed is legit, they'll do camber, toe, and steering angle.
Like Salim said they don't often do same day appointments, but they are very good about not screwing things up. Honestly, not screwing up is more important to me than anything else when I leave my car in someone elses hands.

Soul Speed is on Burleson Road [off HWY71 some miles from Airport. They do suspension and tire installation too.

The good thing with them is they will set any angle you want. That allowed me to remain within spec but pushed the tolerances to my liking.

Our SC and GS went there for alignment.

hmmm that usually means something is worn in suspension ... unless the original (way back then) the alignment was set wrong or some one did not torque the thing down properly
