Good Alignment Shop

So, I had a very bumpy and pothole ridden adventure this last weekend. Now my alignment is pretty off par. Was wondering if you guys know of any good alignment shops in the Sacramento area?

Thanks

I cant recommend Firestone enough... $169 for a lifetime alignment at any firestone shop... meaning you can get your alignment tweeked whenever you want for as long as you own the car.
I have my alignment checked everytime I have my tires rotated for free.

They also put it back into spec for free everytime I hit a pothole ect.

Also, Firestone in Lincoln is pretty knowegable about custom alignment specs.

Firestone does custom alignment? I heard otherwise, but maybe that just depends on the location.

I've heard horror stories about the free Firestone alignments. Using incorrect specs to wear your tires faster to then pay them money for new tires.

Like Americas Tire's "free plug/patch" repair. I took mine in a few weeks ago. Their "best" guy at plugs/patches did mine and said it was beyond fixing. Conveniently I was still within wear spec so I would only have to buy 1 tire....... Didn't feel right to me.

Hit up A&C to see Bryce and they got it fixed no problem. The patch they pulled off from AT had ZERO adhesive used on the inside of the tire

Agreed that there are VAST differences between shops. Roseville used to be good but is under new management and now is one of the worst. I have taken both the FXT and WRX to firestone in Lincoln and they had no problem with custom alignment specs.

Lincoln also had no problems at all using the road hazard warranty on the other 3 non damaged tires because that had worn more than 3/32nds so that I didnt have to put just one new tire on my car.
