Any good place to get an alignment in dallas? Long story short, i met a curb the other day and i need an alignment quick. I put alot of miles on my car per day and id rather not let my tires wear unevenly...so if anyone knows of a shop that knows what they're doin, and wont rev the **** out of my car when they are pullin it into the bay... that'd be helpful. I have lowering springs and aftermarket shocks if that makes a difference

i take my car to the Firestone store. they have a lifetime alignment program. its approx the cost of two alignments (like $130). if you ever swap out any suspension/steering components, or hit a pothole or something and just want it checked, you just bring it right in.

I would check with them. My manager and all of my mechanics have worked at firestone. They all have said that firestones lifetime alignments are a toe set only

Never, ever, heard of that, nor ran into it. Who would buy that crap? The whole point is to get your car on the rack and then sell you front end work to do the alignment, lol. I've had that on my 68 since the early 90's at least and had it all adjusted at a Firestone in Waxahachie as recently as about a year ago. I'd call the district manager and demand a refund if a store pulled that crap on me.

If the new boss wasn't such a @#$$ I would hook you up. I could still do it but it would have to go through the shop $99.95 I've done plenty of alignments and wouldn't cheat a fellow LS1tech mem.
