Do not confuse us for America's Tire Depot, WE are America's Tire Co. Strictly wheels and tires, no alignments, I doubt you need one on your new civic anyway, unless you went and smacked it against a curb. Save your monies

I know it may be far for you but Foothill Tire in San Fernando/Sylmar specializes in lowered cars. I paid about $35 for my alignment. If you're curious, it's off the 210 W exit Maclay, I think....... Check the yellowpages to be sure but they do computer alignment.

If you've got the extra cash go to discount tire in el monte.... it's on valley blvd by the courthouse and the 10 fwy.. 100$ gets you a lifetime allignment.. if you get tires there you get the lifetime for free.

any firestone location (look it up on their webpage) will do it for 149.99, but its lifetime, if you have a lowered car, this is best deal you can ever get unless discount tire in el monte does aligment for lowered cars. but if you lower your car even .1 inch, the alignment will be off. it goes off everytime you take your struts off, unscrew anything that has to do with sturts, springs, suspension stuff (except for strut bars). so i would recomend you get it alignment, dont go the RICER way, it will cost you more in the long run.

you sure firestone will do it...i went to every firestone near my area to do an alignment and camber correction..and they said they couldnt do it..cuz 1st the car wont go up the platform witout scraping it...2nd they said that it had something to do wit their machine being programed to the car's stock height and they cant reprogram it when u lower ur car...however i may be wrong

I say go to the El Monte Discount Tire because they specialize in the aftermarket.. they even do shock install for our 7thgens pretty well i hear.. I have 18's with a 1.8 drop and they do my alignment pretty well, no scrapes or anything.. they use a drive-up lift.
