Shawn Oursland
Owner, ASE certified Technician
Meet Shawn Oursland—better known to the lowered-car community and daily commuters alike as The Alignment Whisperer. He doesn’t just adjust camber and toe; he has a deep, slightly concerning spiritual relationship with them. With over a decade of high-level automotive mastery—including hard-earned factory-level time with Nissan and Volvo—Shawn has the kind of dealer-grade, laser-precise capability that car guys obsess over and people who just want their car to drive straight desperately need.
His credentials weren't forged in some high-turnover quick-lube joint. Mentored by the 2015 ASE Master Mechanic of the Year John Forsyth, Shawn learned old-school diagnostic integrity paired with modern suspension science: the sacred art of getting it right the very first time. Whether he’s dialing in a slammed track car sitting on coilovers or squaring up a bone-stock daily driver, he treats every rig like it's his own.
What you get when you pull into the bay:
-
Wheel alignments so precise they could win a staring contest with a laser.
-
Suspension tuning, steering geometry, brakes, and diagnostics executed with zero shortcuts.
-
Zero sales pitch, zero corporate fluff, and straight answers from the only guy touching your car.
At San Antonio Alignment Specialists, Shawn is the compass, the calm, and the entire operation. He’s the sole master behind the lift, holding the line on absolute perfection. Come for the world-class alignment; stay because you finally found a technician who cares just as much about how your car tracks as you do.
Straight wheels. Straight talk. Zero fluff.
Founded by dealer-trained, ASE-certified technician Shawn Oursland—known to many as The Alignment Whisperer—this independent, family-run shop is a dedicated sanctuary for DIYers, lowered car enthusiasts, and everyday drivers who want precision without the corporate pressure.

I specialize strictly in professional wheel alignments, custom suspension tuning, steering geometry, and expert brake system diagnostics. Whether you're dialing in coilovers on a lowered vehicle or just trying to stop your car from pulling harder than your ex in a custody battle, I take the time to get it right the very first time.
No commissions. No scare tactics. Just honest service. Backed by advanced tech like the Hunter Hawkeye Elite Alignment Machine, I deliver wheel alignment and suspension results you can feel the moment you hit the road. If it doesn’t need fixing, I won't touch it. If it does, I’ll explain why—clearly, and without the sales pitch.
From specialized suspension repair and steering geometry to precision brake diagnostics, I handle the specific systems that keep your car tracking straight, stopping safely, and handling like it’s on rails. Whether it’s a slammed daily driver or a weekend warrior, I treat every car like it’s got a story—and I make sure it keeps rolling.
Built on trust, one precision alignment at a time. To the folks who backed me when I was still operating as “Shawn’s Stuff and Services,” before the fancy logo and the Hunter machine—this place wouldn’t exist without you. You helped build the vibe. If you haven’t been back in a while, come see what you helped create.
