Firestone for alignment.....

TENCHI · 03-12-2010, 03:06 PM

what do you think? better than paying $300 at the dealer?

i've heard good stuff about firestone alignment. and on top they offer some lifetime deal that's apparently worth every penny of it

TENCHI · 03-12-2010, 04:02 PM

i have buyers remorse.....I had my alignment done but not sure if they did a good job. they told me that my alignment was pretty fubar'd

They should have given you a before and after printout sheet. If they adjusted everything to the middle of the specs, then going to a dealership is of no benefit.

I had a lifetime alignment with them a while back - it was definately worth it!

+1..the alignment is as good as the tech doing it. The lifetime deal is great. Get the printout before and after, have a full tank of gas for proper weight and you should be good to go!!

paid $159 for lifetime alignment and used 20+ times over 3 years. best deal ever!

ppaauull · 04-23-2010, 12:21 PM

they wouldn't do it for me as they didn't have the "proper tools" weights blah blah blah...

got mine done at the firestone in renton off rainier, my buddy minh works there and they have the new alignment machine there

every firestone in washington state just got new alignment machine. i find the one in south center mall and ballard the best because they actually have an access to the lowered vehicle...

i believe it's been a month or two. i'm sure each store got the new machine in different days but the manager at the store told me all firestone location got the newer machine.
