I need an alignment, My rear pass. side tire is tilted inwards, so I call Firestone and they want $80, and then I called Speedware and they want $100. Is there any other shop out there that will do it for about the same price of Firestone, but have Speedware quality. I trust Kelly and all, but I have to fix a lot of things on my car.

 

I would go with Speedware > firestone. I believe Cantrell in Kirkland does alignment as well (but no personal experience)

 

Call Byron or Doug at Tru-line Seattle. They are top notch and they have a location in Bellevue.

 

I'm just going to take it to Acura of Bellevue. They said they'll do the alignment and the oil change for $100.

 

+1 for Cantrell and Tru Line, although they are both more than $100

 

I wouldn't trust the dealer to do a proper alignment. The cost to go to Cantrell or Tru-line is well worth it to get a proper alignment and get it done right.

 

Go find a coupon for Firestone in the mail, and just tell them you want to read their before and after alignment sheet. I too would recommend a better shop like Tru Line or Cantrell

My buddy went to a firestone in lacey. They put one his rear tires on the front passenger side and a front tire in the rear. He had staggered settings but thats a bit extreme

 

I'll try and take a picture, but my rear pass. tire looks like this \\ instead of ||. But its not that sever. The dealership wants 80 for the alignment and 20 for labor for the oil change.

I'm still thinking of going to Speedware though...

Thanks for the shop info, I'll call Tru Line and Cantrell tomorrow and get a quote.

 

go where you are comfortable knowing it will be done right the first time and pay the price... JMHO

dont waste your time

 

I'll throw my two cents in for Group 2 Motorsports near Fisherman's Terminal in Ballard. They are some of the nicest guys I've ever met in the auto business, and they do great work at excellent rates. I've referred a few people to Group 2, and they've all been very pleased with the service.

 

Apparently my rear pass. upper control arm is kinda bent or something, so the camber is off. They went over $600 for parts and labor.

 

Group did my Maserati and they are great guys! Highly recommend. Very reasonable too. I thought they were too cheap, surprised.

 

What do you drive if it's a MR2 I might be able to help you out as I still know a few people from those dark days.

 

^ Its a TSX, but I do need a place that can install my upper control arm cheap.
