Good alignment shop in Federal Way?

[JRP]

I'm new to Federal Way and am looking for a good alignment shop that can set my alignment to my spec's, not just "within factory spec's". I auto-cross/track my car and made some changes this past weekend and want to get an alignment done before I go to an HPDE event in a couple weeks. Anyone know of a shop/person that can help me out?

Thanks!

So I found my new alignment shop; Les Schwab in Federal Way. Big Al at Les Schwab did my alignment and he did it exactly as I asked it to be set. Big Al tracks a Miata so he understood what I was asking for. If you are in the Federal Way area and need an alignment, I would recommend them. They also have a 30 day "warranty" so if you wanted to try different setups during the 30 days, you can just bring the car in and he'll set the alignment again or to your new specs.

I would like to recommend the FireStone in Everett Near 128th and Evergreen.

They have a life time alignment deal 180 dollars gets you alignments for as long as you own the car. I asked if it was for only fafactor spec and they stated no and they have guys that come in every other week to change theirbtheir alignment.

They were able to dial in what I asked for no problem. And they have a great rack that is built into the ground and is completely flush . Great for how low our cars can get.

Is this the Les Schwab near the Pep Boys? And... what did the alignment cost?

I'm not sure if it's by Pep Boys but it's across the street from WalMart on 16th Ave S. It cost about $95 with taxes, which seems like a good price considering he spent an hour on it to get it right.

I use these guys as well, but i must say not every location is the same, i had to go to woodinville in a pinch and they didn't stick to my specs so i'll be going back to everett to get it fixed.

I took mine in today and had Alan work on the alignment. Not only did he do a good job.. but actually spent some time discussing options... and also found a nagging issue I had been having with a front end link... stopping an annoying noise I had been trying to diagnose.

I highly recommend Alan at this shop!!

I had my car back in there today for another adjustment and he told me you took your car there. He likes your car and said you are interested in tracking your car sometime? If you are interested, let me know when you want to go and I'll join you. Allan is also interested in going and we're going to go to an event during the summer. I gotta say he does seem to know his stuff.

After I get my brakes beefed up a little, I'm looking to try out the Hooked on Driving HPDE (High Performance Driving Experience) program. They run a couple of events at "The Ridge" in Shelton and also down at PIR.
