Default Holly crap - just went to firestone - not only will they not give me a lifetime

on their alignment but they want double of a normal alignment and if they were to move my subframe that is another 90.

So all in all they want 170+90 = 260 for an alignment which is half the price of my tires

so 750 dollars for some alright tires and an alignment - someone shoot me NOW

Default Just have them mounted/balanced and drive the shell out of there!

You don't HAVE to pay them for an alignment do you?

Default naw - but my rear alignment is messed up and eating my camber in the back

Default Yeah dude....forget the alignment....Don't forget the technique I always use....

1. Remove shirt
2. Bare manbreasts at shop manager
3. Say NOTHING
4. Hold for at least fifteen seconds
5. Leave






Works GREAT......

Something resonable IIRC. I paid $90 for a full subframe and all wheel alignment at my dealer.
