Just wondering whether anyone here has had an alignment done at the Sears Auto Center rather than at the local dealer.
I took it to my local dealer last year and the tire roar seems to be coming back again.

saywat?

id never go to sears unless it was to align a stock vehicle

lol, just think about it. "I took my 350Z to Sears for an alignment"

Just doesn't sound right to me.

Ok, based on your overwhelming responses, going to Sears is a bad idea.
It's better to take my 1997 Corolla there.
Alright, I'll just take it to a different dealer then.

seriously think about what your saying. i dont even trust sears to change my tires oil for that matter touch my car.

go somewhere reputable if you have a warranty go to a dealer if they mess up they fix it for free. firestone if your on a budget, i do have a buddy that goes there with his rx7 and says they dont do a bad job, but me personally i would go to a car shop that has the capability to do such. and do it well.

never trust sears

honestly. if its a stock car, with stock shocks/springs and its just a normal alignment job, it makes no difference on who you go to. even a person that can fog a mirror can follow procedures on a computerized alignment rack..

now, if he was dropped with adjustable camber/toe bars, then that would be something else. the only risk @ sears is them putting marks on your rims with their wheel alignment laser rack thing.

best bet: call up your local tune shop, and as for a referral to an alignment shop for modified cars...

Ask for a shop recommendation in your regional forum.

I would go to Sears, but i would talk to the tech before hand to see if i would trust them with my car.

Most alignment placed have their good and bad.

+1. There were only two shops in my home town that could properly handle alignment with 18 inch rims. Neither of them were named Sears.
