Good place to do alignment in Austin?

My mini needs an alignment after hitting big dip in the road. I'm over the 2000 mark for free alignments and since the nearest dealer is 2 hours away, can someone recommend a place that they would trust an alignment in the Austin area? I really don't feel comfortable taking it to chain store auto place.

Thanks!

Cant answer that question, but I will tell you that you better have the alignment specs for the R56 yourself as most shops do not have that data yet. Do a search here, I remember someone has posted them in the past..

If you don't mind paying a bit more, go to Soulspeed on Lamar and Masterton (just a bit north of 183). They can align it to whatever specs you want, and have a good history of doing a lot of the autox and race cars in town.

I second, getting the specs first and finding out if they can even do the alignment. I had several here in San Antonio saying that they couldn't do the alignment due to lack of specs.
