Anybody know an alignment shop in the Austin area they've had good experience with and can recommend?

The dealer screwed up the alignment on my '03 4x4 Tundra when they did the ball joint recall last year. Drove in tracking straight as an arrow, drove out pulling to the right, and of course, they said they aligned it right and blamed it on the tires. Amazing how my tires suddenly cratered sitting in the dealer for a few hours, isn't it?

Now my front right tire is worn bald on the outer edge and have no choice but to get new rubber, but need to get the alignment right before shelling out the big $$ for tires. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey Mike,
It was Charles Maund, which is where I bought my Tundra. This is my second Toyota truck, first one was a '95 V6 4x4 extended cab I bought from Classic, and my service experiences there were a nightmare, so beware Classic, too. I love my truck and will continue to be a Toyota owner because they are such a good vehicle, but it is unbelievable to me how the service departments at those two dealers treat there customers. My neighbor across the street has had similar poor experiences at both dealers, too, so apparently it's not just me.

Anyway, know a good alignment guy in Austin?
