Garland Safety Lane - Garland (TX)

5 /5 Frankie Hopkins: If you live close to Garland, you know Garland safety lane is the place to go for front end alignment, they do great work for fair price, I took my 1960 Chevy Impala here when I was in high school. Thats how long they have been in business. They are honest too, one time they told me I didnt need any work done. You dont find that much anymore. Try them, you wont be sorry !!!

5 /5 Jared Guynes: A HIDDEN GEM - Safety Lane in Garland is a blast from the past all the way down to the old fashioned customer service, and non nonsense pricing. This is an amazing choice for anyone needing brakes, suspension or alignment work done on their car or truck. Notable Safety Lane is lowered car friendly, has flush drive over pits, and even the now vintage equipment to properly align classic cars by hand. If you have a muscle car or some sort of antique that needs steering or suspension alignment this is the place to go. 

I found it very remarkable that Matt is the proud 4th owner of the company, which opened in 1952, more than 70 years ago. He purchased it from the widow of the 3rd family owner, after having been an employee there himself for more than a decade. He didn’t change anything, and if you call you will probably hear him answer the phone “SAFETY LANE” and hear you out. 

Nothing high tech, nothing fancy, and no official appointments. They take you first come first served, and the line begins forming 30 minutes before they open at 7am. On our visit we waited for quite a while in line, but in the end it was worth it. I have never seen someone put so much time and effort into an alignment, Matt took the car out onto the road 3 times to test drive it himself. How is that for customer service?

Someday in the future places like Safety Lane may not even exist, but for now you can step back into a simpler time and experience honest customer service like your grandpa used to get! Highly recommended!

5 /5 Rick N: If you’re looking for an honest and hardworking establishment, then this is the place. I needed an alignment on my lowered Mustang and Matt dialed her in perfectly. I’ve taken it to a number of other shops before in which they all failed miserably. If you’re going to wait on your vehicle, I highly suggest getting there at least 30 min before they open as they do get busy fairly quick. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The owner Matt was very kind and interacted with all the clients waiting in the shop. I will gladly make the 45 minute journey again in the future.

5 /5 Eric A: Garland Safety Lane is a hidden gem, nestled among the two-dozen used car lots on Garland Avenue. They are honest as the day is long, and wont sell you on parts or services you dont need. They are typically busy, so it doesnt hurt to call ahead and check whether theyre swamped. People line up 30-minutes before they open to get ahead. Brake service, alignments and suspension system work is their specialty.

5 /5 Jimmy Lopez: My experience at this shop was great I went in for a front wheel alignment which was 50 dollars the guy that helped me out was very helpful and had a great attitude about everything I would recommend this place for anyone needing work done on your car or truck I will definitely be back to get some more work done
