firestone lifetime alignment.

hey guys,

what firestone do you guys usually go to for an alignment? I usually go to the one on bode and barrington in hoffman, but lately their quality has been piss-poor.

Firestone in Willowbrook refused to work on my non-stock suspension.

Thats no good. I work for Firestone and we get guys in all the time with slammed cars. Their is one guy we won't do work on any more cause he's a dick. Come by and I'll take care of you guys! I work at the one in Round Lake Beach. Lifetime Alignment is where its at!

Are the lifetime alignments transferable? Or is it strictly a single-car thing?

Yeah its only for the one car. I mean If you sold the car with the LTA and you could show them that maybe that would work, lol. Never come across that.

Yeah exactly. We have a drive on alignment rack, so we'll take anything you wanna get aligned. As long as the suspension is tight we'll do it! Gotta love that drive on alignment rack, as long as the car has at least a couple inches of clearance we can get it on there.

The only FS that has aligned my semi-lowered TL (neuspeed set up) was the Woodfield one.

No FS will touch my car now. Gotta hit up Thalmanns in Glenview or NTB @ Golf & Algonquin in Arlington Heights I think.

If you have a Duxler Tire shop near you i suggest you go to them. I used to use NTB and switched to Duxler and it is such a huge difference. Better employees, better service, better tools, better shop etc. Duxler uses that special tool so the wheels wont get scratched when you get alignments. NTB didnt use that and scratched my stock rims alot doing alignments. I bought a lifetime alignment from Duxler for a little over 200.

Don't see why a shop would turn away business...? We get lowered cars in all the time. Business is business!
