Any regular alignment (basic adjustments, not having to r&i anything for adjustments) are 69.95. Usually if you want specific specs for autocrossing or an agressive street alignment or anything they run around 89.95. Can also get them perfect to where its wanted!

Group2 is booked like that because it's worth it. Alignments are to the .01" with them.
Take it to me and I can do same quality of work and provide a lifetime alignment instead of paying for alignment eveytime you do something new or replace a part!

Fordahl was booked last time I called them. I've used Omni for years now with no issues.

Its not the SHOP its the TECH, get unlimited alignments from firestone, find a good tech, the one is mill creek is really good and tip them 10 bucks every time you get your car aligned and they will take care of you for cheap.

+1 here as I have been there 3 times. None of which were great experiences. Greg (owner) is a great guy but the people he has working for him are the worst. No one has the same answer twice.

I keep going alllll the way back to Omni Brake and Alignment because I like their work. Although there is this older dude that works at the Covington Les Schwab and he knows his **** and I'm thinking about having him do the Evo next time.

Got my alignment at the Puyallup Firestone by JR. Awesome guy to talk to and since he has an Evo, he knows what he's doing
Highly recommend.

Now who out there knows a trusted place for corner balancing/height adjustment.

If you want your alignment done right, go see JR at Firestone in Puyallup. Very awesome guy to talk to and he knows his stuff. A mechanic fully trained in the operation of the aligner.

Thanks JR for your helped and your professionalism.
I highly recommend!!!

Got my alignment and corner balance done at TC Motorsports on Monday. Good god does the corner balance make a difference and highly recommend it if you have coilovers on and even if you used a micrometer to adjust the heights. I did not use a micrometer and although the ride heights were pretty close to each other it made a huge difference (bad) in actual corner weights - I was almost embarrased as to how bad they were in the 'before'.

New pads are in today and hitting up the autox in Bremerton on Monday!

I'm going to chime in and also say Belkirk!

Bob, Tyler and Dan are quality guys. Tyler also is a genius at rolling fenders if you need it done. Look at his evo if your unsure. They do all types of alignments from street, to aggressive for track. They can definitely get your lowered car on the lift. Mine is super low and just had it on last week with no scrapes! They've aligned my evo and my dsm twice now. Why roll the dice with firestone and hope you get the same guy that knows what he's doing when you can go to one shop that has multiple guys that specialize in alignments?

Your only rolling the dice if you don't know anyone that works at a firestone, drives a Evo and is not knowledgeable about alignments. If you know someone like myself just call and request him to work on it or contact me personally!

Thanks again to the many that have came to me for their alignments and can vouch for my work and suggestions on your set ups!
