We have all been there, that little message pops up on your dash indicating that you are over your oil change interval. You consider the place down the street that advertises oil changes at incredible speed — 30 seconds or something crazy like that. Of course, over the 30-second oil change, and they will send a whole platoon of “technicians” to show you parts and implore you to replace various parts. Do you really think that they had time to thoroughly inspect your vehicle? Of course not, these are all tactics to get you to spend money on extras. It’s like the ice cream shop setting those waffle cones with the chocolate and sprinkles right where you can see them. Is that the most efficient storage for chocolate-dipped waffle cones with...

Most vehicle owners, at one time or another, will eventually be told that they need a wheel alignment. Is this the same tactic that the quick oil change places use when they bring out your brand new air filter and suggest that you need a new one? Or is it a necessary part of vehicle maintenance? At Gulf Coast Alignments, we are one of the most experienced wheel alignments in Houston and are committed to providing our loyal customers, as well as new clients, the best possible service at excellent prices. For over 25 years we have been performing wheel alignments and we know when it needs to be done and when you can get by for a bit longer.

If you have a diesel truck or car, you probably know that the maintenance is critical to ensuring that your vehicle will go the distance. At Gulf Coast Alignments we perform a variety of maintenance services on diesel vehicles, and we understand the importance of proper care. Not only are we Houston’s most recognized wheel and front end alignment professionals but we are also your one-stop-shop for preventative maintenance. We understand cars and trucks from bumper to dipstick and have made it our mission to keep our customers on the road. So without further ado we will dig deep into diesel vehicle maintenance.

In Houston, we have a rich automotive culture. Now, Detroit may have Woodward avenue, and LA has the Sunset Strip for cruising. From hotrods to lowriders, slabs, and Harleys, the cruising scene around the country is incredibly diverse in its interpretations. Hotrods: the all-engine fire breathing beasts, all that power barely contained under a set of foot-wide racing slicks. Lowriders: the definitive latin car culture defined by hydraulic suspension and candy wrapped paint schemes. For all of the meticulously curated paint and chrome, lowriders hide high performance engines, albeit designed to creep along the boulevard at a slow roll. Yes, car culture as a whole is not going to be defined by a single movement and basically whatever you are into is fair game. At Gulf Coast Alignments we...

Most of us take for granted that when we step on the brake pedal, the car is going to stop. And while that may be true most of the time it is always a possibility that your vehicle’s brakes could fail. This may sound a bit dramatic and alarmist but, as with anything mechanical, there is always a chance of failure. At Gulf Coast Alignments we are proud to offer brake services for cars and light trucks. Many of you may think we only do alignments but that is not the case; we have a full service automotive shop, able to perform a wide variety of services. While our alignments are performed by some of the most qualified technicians in Houston, you can bet that our brake work is just as superior.

The weather gets hot here in Houston, particularly in the summer. (You are welcome for the little shot of obvious.) Of course you know it is hot in the summer, and being though it is summer, you dress accordingly. We dress in shorts and sandals, adapting to the warmer weather seemingly without even noticing. Wouldn’t it be amazing if preventative maintenance on your car was that intuitive? With Gulf Coast Alignments you don’t have to worry about the maintenance on your car, we are here when you need us, just like your favorite pair of summer flip flops.

We are proud to welcome you to Houston’s finest automotive service and alignment center. We take great pride in our community and the condition of our customers’ vehicles. We invite you to stop in for any of our services or just swing by to chat if you have concerns about your vehicle. While we are your alignment specialists, the depth of our services goes far beyond alignments, and we have more than 25 years of experience to back it up.
