The best in Baton Rouge, Jim's Wheel Alignment. You need to make an appointment. But they get you in and out in no time. I got the oil changed at a dealership, they had a machine that read the alignment as you drove through. They said my truck was out of alignment. Jim's put it on the rack, said everything was within tolerance.
I called the dealership told them to recalibrate their POS machine.

I don't have any recs but its hard to beat places that specialize. General shops might get the job done but someone who eat sleeps and breaths a particular task has a knowledge base on a different level.

Louis and crew have been good also. Can't say anything bad.

In my younger days, we did most of the motor work for Jim's son's race boat Delta Lady.

Oh...there's nothing wrong with the machine...It's doing what it's told to do.

Exactly, but they have it out of calibration.

Bingo! That's why the word, "Alignment," is on their sign. Jim, was the Dad, Mike and Rob were the sons. Now the younger generation are doing the alignment.

Another note: The race boat "Gunsmoke," use to be in their building behind the shop.

I went to Burbank Tire and Car Care for my last wheel alignment. They were very responsive, and it took about an hour.

I do business with Jim's, McDonald, and Burbank Tire. All are very reputable, independent shops that are run by very honest people. You can't go wrong with either of them.
