I've been looking for a place that does lifetime alignments for lowered vehicles. I called up Firestone today and they do it for 169.99 but will not work with lowered cars...

I need a spot.. and I finally got my SPC camber kits and I need air tools... sucks.

forget about Just Tires then
forget about all the mainstream shops.

I'm looking for a spot too. The place that I go to, charges 65 bucks, but the guy actually takes your car to another place. I have been content with his work. He even brings wood so my car can go up the ramp easier. But I do not feel comfortable with him driving my car to who knows where. And he was the one that installed my rear camber arms as well. His shop is located in Garden Grove.
And it's two young guys - though their prices arent always best, but they have been pretty reliable.

Autobacs also does alignment, but many people do not trust them. When I first put on my s techs i got the alignment there and i was very happy about it. They even told me not to get a camber kit. But now, my car has a lip kit - dont know if they'll work with that.

I'm looking to get an alignment pretty soon because I want to readjust my coilovers.. even though i just did it last month...

Thanks man. Hmm, well the place I got my new tires from will do it for $40, but I'm not sure if they're any good on the services they offer. I mean, I only got the tires because I got them for a good price.

I'll be looking around.. and just like Johnbt said, maybe we can all go for a discount or something.. (I think it was him.. not too sure).

These guys were talking about the lifetime alignment and I'm assuming they have lowered their cars too. I don't get it.

it could just depend on the individual shop. But it's safe to say that most shops will not want to deal with lip kits and lowered cars - especially if you request certain camber.
40 bucks sounds cheap - go for it - especially if they have a print out - because thats pretty much the only way to tell if they actually aligned your car or not. and from that u can tell if they did a good job or not

don't go to firestone. at least not in buena park. i had alignment done @ buena park. they didn't do a good job. uneven thread wear.

 
Rep Power: 303

Yeah, I'm sure if they mess up, I can go back and get it fixed out.

Hmm.. did they work on the car when it was lowered? I called up Firestone in Downey and the guy said he wouldn't work on lowered cars. Then, I got home and started calling other places and I guess I was too late. They were probably closed. I'll try again tomorrow.

yeah. they worked on mine when it was lowered. but if i were you, don't go there.

where should I go? I need to go asap. I don't want to eat up my tires unevenly.

Very few places will give lifetime alignments for lowered cars because it isn't cost beneficial for them. You have to pay to play. Just get it done at a reputiable suspension shop.

have you tried sears?

I was going to get to a small reputable shop, but I just stopped by Firestone nearby and they had the 169.99 deal. I took it. Unfortunately, they wouldn't install camber kits, so I had to go around for hours looking for places that will work on my car.

Thanks.

I tried calling earlier today, but the one in Cerritos said that they wouldn't work on lowered cars.

Thanks.

I work at a tire shop and i am in training to do alignments well i lowered my 00 civic si put front and rear camber kits and it worked out fine for me all I did was use the stock specs get the camber as close as possible and set the toe and let it go..... Been almost 10,000 miles if not more and i have no wear at all..

Thats odd that Firestone wont work on your car my Honda is lowered and inch and a half with just springs and I just bought the lifetime allignment. I had my camber plates put on and they still alligned it Not sure where you are but It might differ from state to state I suppose I just thought that was odd

I did get the lifetime alignment at Firestone. Other places like Sears and other big companies, as well as small shops, wouldn't work on lowered cars. Luckily, the guys at Firestone were glad to help and didn't doubt that my car wouldn't fit onto the rack. The guy even told me that there was a Honda Fit recently that was slammed with the factory lip kit and that they were able to get the alignment done with almost no problems.

I'm from southern California.

I know this post is old but it got my attention... I am looking for an alignment for my daughters civic and i found a good deal at Brake Check for $94.00 tax included!

 
Rep Power: 268

94 isn't that great of a deal as most shops around here will do it for half that these days as the economy kinda sucks. also an alignment is labor so if they are saying tax included that is just extra money for the shop so face palm to spam
