Wheelworks good at custom alignments?

so I just ordered some tires and chose to go with the Dunlop z1 star specs.

Wheel Works offer unlimited wheel alignments at $127 for 1 year or 12k whichever comes first. In the past Ive only gone to AI and they do really great but this sounds like a really good deal.

anyone with good/bad experience with wheel works??

**** WHEEL WORKS DUDE. DO NOT GO TO WHEEL WORKS. they do **** alighnment jobs and they forgot to tighten my lug nuts one time. put them on hand tight forgot to torque wrend it and ****ed up one of the rims cuz of it. i could have died. i am currently pending suit so i cant get into details. but



**** THAT!!!

all good deals have a price.

Americans #1 tire are great. plus they will patch holes in yoru tire for free even if you didnt buy your tire from there. after they told me that i only do biz with them. plus with us driving awd you cant get tire warranties so what they will do is prorate your other tires if you blow one out and give you that towards the purchase of another set.

ok guys thanks for the responses. Is there any chance they might have improved there service? maybe certain locations have better track records than others. I met with Brian over at the Calaveras location and he seems really cool he was pretty knowledgeble when it came to knowing the mods i had too. He tells me some of his friends that own evos and subies get there alignments done there for track days or whenever they make suspension mods.
