Alignment Shops
So I see a lot of people have suspension and whatnot, but not many people post information about where they are getting alignments, or maybe they are just not getting them, who knows.
Anyways, I looking for a info from people on where they went, what kind of experiences they had, cost, etc. Something on the Olympic peninsula or Tacoma side would be nice, but I am not opposed to taking a ferry over to Seattle to go to a shop that knows what they are doing. |

Doing alignments nowadays isn't rocket science with the new computer alignment systems available. You could train pretty much anyone to do them if they have the capacity to follow instructions.
(I used to alignments when I was in high school) That said, I've been going to Les Schwab for years and I haven't had an issue with them and the price is right. One thing I do recommend is asking to see the printout with the before and after specs on your alignment. You pretty much just want to make sure that your toe, camber and thrust angles are the same (or at least very close left and right). There was one time a guy did my alignment and when I saw the sheet, my toe was set to -1.4 degrees on the left and over -2.6 or something like that on the right. I told him to do it again. Scott

Sounds good to me. Haha.
I just hate going into places with a lowered car and have them throw a hissy fit because it's not stock height, which I have had happen before. I would usually just go somewhere else. Les Schwab it is! |

People say a lot of good things about TruLine alignment. People go there to have their high-end suspension systems set and aligned.
