Hey Tim, are you guys allowed to align for maximum performance or do you have to stay within factory specs when you align?

After purchasing a new car I always get my first alignment at Firestone and buy their $149.00 lifetime alignment. I get my car aligned every second oil change or 6000 miles. My Excursion used to eat tires but after buying the lifetime deal and getting the alignment done every 6000 miles my tires lasted much longer. I've only had the Z aligned once and the alignment was way out even though the car would run straight down the road. It might be steep but I think worth it in the long run.

I'm never taking my car to a regular tire place. I went to big-o-tires for a rotation and they broke my front bumper. His insurance company ate the costs though, $2,300 in damages.

I can understand that one...The Firestone is next to my office and I've been dealing with them for a few years now. They actually give me deals all the time b/c I use them for all my cars. Someone quoted my $80.00 to mount/balance 4 tires they did all 4 for low pros for $27.00

Usually shops like that are great for non lowered vehicles becuase of the lifts they have. I even warned them and asked for my vehicle to be lifted by floor jacks but they didn't quite listen and ruined my expensive bumper.

Right now our forum price is $69.95. Currently we do not have the equipment for corner balancing, we are working on that. Yes I do live in Glendale but no I do not drive a Z. I came from the midwest where a Z is not the ideal "snowmobile". Possibly in the future.

That's a awesome deal. So $70 bucks and thats a 4 wheel alignment with a printout. hmm

I might come in next week for that and a motul oil change. I just bought some coilovers so once those are installed i'll do the alignment (hopefully by next week).

Thanks

Could someone tell me the best place (closest to Glendale) to go for the alignment and corner balancing?

There are a couple places listed but I really don't have a single idea on where to go.

Sounds good. Let us do the install as well. I'll work out a good deal for you to get everything done. One stop, no hassle.

That had to be the greatest quote. I admire dedicated companies like WCN. I'll definitely give you guys a call for the coilover/alignment/oil change thing. We can name it "The WCN Special". haha
