Default Looking for austin area alignment shop

Hello to all. After more than two years of looking for my dream 987.1 I have finally found it, and looking for knowledgeable Austin area alignment shop suggestions that can provide primarily street settings for this wonderful machine. Of course like everyone I'd like to have my cake and eat it too, but will be using this car as a daily driver so tire wear is an important consideration. Some track/autocross time is definitely in the future for this car, and plan to have the same shop provide adjustments for same. Thanks!

I've used SoulSpeed for 15 years... they just moved down to Kyle, so it's a bit farther unless you're south. Someone recently mentioned Black Sheep Motorsports to me, but I don't have experience with them yet.

Thanks mthreat. Yea, that will be a bit of a drive as I live just outside of Marble Falls, but I'll check them out!

I'm in central/north Austin and do a dozen track days, autocross, and road rally. I get my tire mounting and alignment at Soulspeed or GT International. They do tech inspections too.

EDIT: I didn't know Soulspeed moved south... I'd hit up GT International then. Right off of 35 @ Braker.

@budwing Congratulations on your new dream car! GT International is a good choice. I also highly recommend TPWS on North Lamar. They're a great family owned shop that only works on Porsche. If you don't mind going further south, you can try Moorespeed. They work on all exotics, including my 458 Italia and happen to have my 987.2 CS in for some maintenance right now.

I live in Lago Vista so wave as you drive by!

Thanks jazztrip. I'm a bit surprised that we have so many qualified shop options for work on our cars in Austin!
