Not cheap but well worth it. Mine was so good that I don’t think I will need another for a long time No tire wear on the rear inside edge and perfect tracking |

A lot of Firestone stores do offer lifetime alignments.
I haven’t had any luck with the Firestone here or brake masters. Les Schwab has been the best so far. |

I can’t see the benefit of lifetime alignments if they don’t do a good job in the first place. Better to get a good alignment in the first place
BTW Firestone seem to have closed all their outlets in SF area |

A lifetime alignment is a marketing ploy to get you back into the shop, and sell you parts and services you may or may not need.
Watch your tires, and as long as everything is OK, and you haven't gone into a tank trap, your alignment is fine. |

Screw firestone, I bought a lifetime alignment 3 years ago. Brought it to get it aligned before a private track day, waited 45 minutes for an appointment I had scheduled, only to get denied cause the car was lowered 1 inch. Mind you I went to another firestone before this time after I installed shock/spring and got it aligned without question.

Lifetime dealership oil changes and other things aren't any different. You just get the thing they offer you and leave. If anything, you're getting a free inspection of stuff you can do yourself. |
