Looking for a recommendation on a good alignment shop in S. OKC area.

Also looking for a place that can evacuate and refill my car A/C.

Not interested/don't trust chain shops like Firestone or Pep Boys, prefer local recc. Looks like shop I had previously been referred to has changed hands and is just writing big front end repair jobs for every alignment :(

Thx..

I recently had a pretty good experience with MileX/Mr Transmission, 39th and Meridian. They spent 3 hours leak detecting and then fixing my last AC issue and only charged me $200 in labor and did not jack up the prices of parts either. In my case I had two leaking o-rings and a leaking expansion valve.

If your ball joints/tie rods are bad you need to replace them before any shop will do an alignment. You cant have loose wheels when you get an alignment done.

The name escapes me right now, but the Edmond Discount Tire keeps coupons behind the counter for a local mechanic that does alignments with the coupon for like $50. I think that's $25-$30 off their regular price. I remember I looked them up and they had really good reviews.

If you're referring to the one off Broadway extension, did they change from the now VW dealer across the street?

Sorry, you lost me. Are you asking if they changed from recommending someone across the street to do alignment? They've never suggested anyone to me other than the local shop whose coupon they have behind the counter. The shop is located a couple of miles from the Broadway Ext. Discount Tire.

The place I got recommended to do an alignment was a dealer across the street that is now a VW dealer.

The VW dealership has moved to the corner of Memorial & Santa Fe. Unless that's a second location.

Thanks for all the good info guys. I discovered a bad tie rod on one side and would have done it myself had I the time once I discovered it. I ended up taking it to Merle's Alignment on South Shields and they did a great job for a net of only about ~$100-$120 more than if I'd done it myself, plus they did it in just a couple of hours plus got it aligned. They did adjust out some positive camber I knew was present on the front end, which made the time I spent installing some eccentric camber adjustment bolts in the front end worthwhile....
