Tire mounting balancing and alignment
i was wondering if anyone knows of a good decently priced tire place around irvine or tustin? i just got my tires in and have called a few places and all of them gave me a quote for mounting and balancing for 1 tire it was like 30 dollars jsut for mounting and balance i think thats bullcrap so any good shops? and should i got with discount tires lifetime alignment thing for 200 dollars? thanks
1. tires.com and tirerack.com has a installer search that also lists pricing for services.
2. lifetime alignment is around $140 at firestone tires.
3. lifetime alignment is worth it if you are lowered and will need frequent adjustments.
4. lifetime alignment is usually offered at places where techs don't know any better than you and me. can you trust them? I've had probably 6-7 alignments at multiple firestones this year alone thanks to retards who didn't know how to straighten out a crooked steering wheel.

if yer getting quoted for 200 yer nuts... dealerships are not even that much
the lifetime deal is a great thing to have...
i went back 6 days in a row trying to get the steering wheel straight.. saddly they were too stupid to do it.. in the end they refunded me and i had honda do it...

oo tight tight where did you go to get that lifetime alginment stuff? should i just do the lifetime thing or get a one time 80 dollar alignment? haha how much did yuo get yours for?
I go to the Firestone in Garden Grove on Chapman and Brookhurst.
I usually ask for Francisco.
He doesn't mind you standing next to him while he does the alignment.
If you ask him to adjust the camber and toe to your specifics, he'll do it without problem, even if it's out of safe range.
Also note that I usually go at 7am right when they open because I don't want to **** them off during peak hours.
