but how is a re alignment considered a warranty? Or are you referring to the factory warranty?

How would it be warranty to bring your car not to a dealer and get it aligned? its basically not warranty since you can come back and get it realigned as long as you own your car. my brother has been using it for a couple of years now that's why i got that as well.

are they supposed to take your car for a "test drive"?

surprised the crap out of me when they pulled my car on to 121 when all i asked for was a simple alignment with that 1 year deal. didn't even ask if it was alright with me or tell me they were going to.

"uhhh isn't your garage less than 20 ft away?"
"oh no we have to test drive it to see if it pulls to one side"
"i brought the car to you because it pulled to one side..."

the manager there said it was their policy to test drive all vehicles to see if they pull towards one side. then kept going on about how even after alignment that the car may not be aligned.

"okay.. i'll tell you if it does. not you."

i've never been to an alignment facility where they HAD to test drive a car. also looked like a bunch of kids running the joint.

definitely not taking it to the NTB at grapevine again.

If you're **** about your car then let them know ahead of time. Not every car they align will have good tires and suspension like our evos. So it's normal for them to test drive the car to verified. If they ragged your car out then it's their fault.

I did not know it was normal. Every other alignment facility that I've been to never did that.

Good to know.
