Alignment shop recommendations? (SEA)
 

Hey guys, looking for the BEST alignment shop Seattle-area Washington has to offer.

North up to Marysville/Smokey Pt area is preferred because I live up in Tulalip... but I commute to Kent so anywhere along the I5 corridor isn't bad.

I just got quoted for $315 for JUST an alignment (no 4-corner balancing) and about choked on my chicken wing. Note to self: don't do estimates while eating.

Thanks all :party0030:

My vote is for Tru-Line, but their locations are in Seattle and Bellevue. They actually take time to ask you what you use the car for, add weight to the car to simulate you sitting in it when they align it, etc. They charge around $150-ish for an alignment, I don't know about corner balancing.

Firestone in Everett near Homedepot on 99 and 128th. I got bought a Lifetime Alignment for 180 bucks. They have a great rack (flush with the ground). I told him what I wanted, they delivered.

You don't have to stick to factory specs, they don't care about aftermarket parts, and the guy even said they have guys that come in and change their alignment every other week.

Don't think they do corner balancing.

x2 for firestone in everett, been using them for the past 4 years after my friend with a lowered speed 6 recommended them when they honored his lifetime alignment after the redmond location wouldn't touch his car.

I've had bad experience with the woodinville location, they did not listen to the specs i wanted and messed with my toe. Wasn't a big deal since i was on winter tires but once i put my summer back on i could tell it was all wrong, I called up everett, they got me in the next day, fixed my alignment to my specs and had me back on the road in 30 minutes from showing up.

Awesome guys.. I would give Tru line my business since I like to support smaller/local, but $180 for lifetime alignments...

I can't pass that up

One caveat- they don't mind aftermarket LCAs?

Thanks all

if you go to their website you can sometimes get a coupon for it around 140$ plus taxes, (this is what i paid a couple years ago). so far i've gotten my car aligned 7 or 8 times in the past 2 years.

well worth the money. i also got them to install my rear LCA and camber bolt and their price was reasonable for the work performed.

VERY happy to report that the awesome guys at Everett Firestone dailed in my rig.

I put the following on:
- Bilstein B8s
- Sportlines (swapped them over, was running them on stock struts)
- Racer X LCAs
- Crash bolts

Got the following:

Front
Camber: -1.1
Caster: 5.7
Toe: -0.05

Rear
Camber: -1.3
Toe: 0.1

Made an appointment for 4pm last friday and when I rolled up to the shop, I saw a look from a guy while he darted inside. Went to the counter and they already printed off the invoice and got things ready for me to sign, said they saw me comin' in and knew I wanted to beat rush hour. Didn't bat an eye when I showed them the install instructions for the crash bolts and LCAs for reference. Got my car dialed in less than an hour. VERY pleased.

Thank you @Imrac and @RobertPaulson !

Nice, glad they were able to take care of you :)
