I know I know... alignment.
I don't have to ask where to go because I know I'll get 2 names.
My question is this... I always here about people getting $60 alignments there but as far as I know that hasn't happened in days.
I just called and they quoted me $100 because I have rear camber bolts. Last time I went in they charged me like $120 because I used to have camber plates. They offered to install my camber bolts but said it'd be $45 which I thought was ridiculous because they already had the wheel off and bolt loosened.
And on top of that I've heard from a few people that the suby specialist there left and that service has gone way down. Including a couple stories about them disrespecting (read not taking care of) people's parts. Putting lug nuts on chrome wheel lips and what not.
Basically I need my car aligned and I plan to take it to AI unless someone can give me another name in the bay that does subarus and isn't some douche kid that's gonna screw up my car.
I want to run close to -2 up front and something like -.5 in the back.
I need some tires mounted while I'm in town.
AI quoted me $90 if I take care of disposal which is fine but anyone point me to someone else in the area that will do it on used tires.

Firestone does a $70 one time alignments and $130 for lifetime, with the lifetime you can go in WHENEVER you want want (once a day) and have them align your car, preeeetty good deal

Firestone lifetime alignments FTW!!!!
$100
I can do what ever the hell I want to my suspension. Take it in and have it checked and adjusted for free..... I even give them my specs... No problems..
Aligments are free for how ever long I own the car..

why is it that no one ever recommended firestone before.
Where's the best one at? That's sounds perfect for me as there's a good chance I'll have to redo the rear struts and I might run different springs in the spring.

Oy ray - theres one in watsonville. 1099 S Green Valley Rd, Watsonville - (831) 724-2013. I go to the one on ocean, all of their guys are old as time haha. The deal is awesome, applies to the car you have it registered for and you can do it at any firestone.
