Does anyone have a specific place they like to take their vehicles to be aligned (CORRECTLY)? I need both mustangs aligned, and would like to have them BOTH done tomorrow. Everytime I go somewhere like a midas or something, they charge a shit load and take 5 hours to do it. Anyone know of a place that I should be able to pull into, have it done fairly quickly, then come back with my other mustang for another one? And what about price? Anywhere you guys know that might cut me a deal b/c Im bringing two to them in the same day?
All help is appreciated.

Although they are not real close to you but only a 20 minute drive Beasley tire in Kingwood on Loop 494 does great work. You might want to check with them. I would have taken my car there but it was easier to take it to a place here in Baytown right down from the office. I think my alignment was $45 or so.

I've been told by quite a few people to go to NorthSide Chasis on Kuykendahl just south of 1960 by where the Street Meet used to be.
Let me know what you find cause the vert has never had one.
Later,

I went to that place once with a customer's car I had finished. It was 2:30 and they didn't close till 5-6 timeframe. They were ALL sitting at a card table, just hanging out when I got there.... I asked if I could have an alignment done, and he said "sure, but it won't be done till tomorrow." I was like "huh? You cant get it done while I wait?" And he said "no, we have other jobs in front of yours." Meanwhile, Im looking at the EMPTY shop (no cars there, no one working on a car) and the 4 other guys sitting at the table in the shop. I said no thanks and left. It was pretty obvious that number 1, they could have got the car in and done while I waited and number 2, they probably wanted me to leave the car so they could joyride around in it that night. Fook that noise. While I've heard good things about them also, which is why I checked them out, that crap left a sour taste in my mouth and I will not give them my business.

I took mine to Firestone on 6 near 290. Cedric was the shop manager there, and I believe he started the car show that's still held there. I've heard he is no longer there now so I don't know what to say.
/me knows this post was of no help at all :)

I ended up just taking it to the local midas due to the rain and the close distance to my house. When I pulled up and asked how long, they said bring it back in 1 hour. I didn't have a problem with this since I had some other errands to run anyway. When I returned in an hour, I drove right up on the rack and they got started. No pull in the car anymore, and no vibration at 70+ mph. Good enough for guv'ment.

Though you already got your alignment Fred(therefore this thread is a moot point), I wanted to add what I know on the subject.
I happened to asked "Ms.TrainedAssasain" about alignment shops a while back and this is what she had to say:
"The name of the shop is Southwest Alignment. The shop owner name is Greg. There is only one thing I don't like about his shop and that is he is not open on Saturdays. So unless you get there pretty early, it is always full. That is just how good he is. All of the imports use him. Here is the name 713-783-5282. This is the address: 6345 Beverly Hills, Suite C."
I STILL havent made it over to get an alignment done. Anyone done business with them?
