Sam Shalala was a top race car driver. He also builds engines. If you want your car aligned and corner balanced he is the best in the Houston area. No one was able to get my GT2 right but him. Car is on rails and rock solid at 150 plus now.

Charged my nearly $900 for my 40K service on my CTT, however and I am not too happy about that.

They are expensive now, but Sam Shalala the founder of the company, is a GREAT guy, and has a huge wealth of knowledge. Since the recent change of ownership there are some obvious changes. I think they got rid of one of there best tech's, Ronnie.

I'm sorry I was mistaken that Ronnie had left. Glad to hear he's still there. How were their prices? I'll be taking my car back soon for another corner balance and alignment. Looking forward to seeing how the place has come along since I was there last. They had just moved shops and things were really beginning to look like a world class shop.
