Lifetime Alignment from Firestone

[devilmagic]

i just purchased the Lifetime Alignment on the car from Firestone for $140 . I have heard this is one of the better investment out there for your car. but im not sure if i made the right decision by picking Firestone.

firestone alignment is a good deal. A typical alignment costs $80-$100. Now I just gotta see when I'll need another alignment down the road to make it worth it.

[devilmagic]

haha lets hope its not anytime soon.. meaning i hope nothing go wrong with you and your car that require you to get it aligned or much more worst ..

[dldjros69]

Does this include eibachs or coils? Do you trust these tool bags?

[devilmagic]

i asked them i have aftermarker springs. the guys in charge told me thats under alignment coverage. so ofcourse, i went ahead and got an alignment right after purchasing the deal. even though my car drive just fine lol

[lavon_andy]

yes it's a good deal

I had it on my truck and I got it aligned every 6 months just for s*** and giggles lol

Lifetime alignment is a good deal, but I can't say buying through firestone was. Mine is through tires plus and I've had great service by them. My previous car was through firestone and I had bad service EVERYTIME I took it in. Out of the five times they aligned it, it still pulled to the right everytime they claimed to have aligned it. They also tore one of my CV boots and then played ignorant about it. The last alignment I had done before I traded it in I got through tires plus and they got it to actually drive straight; so it wasn't the car, it was them. Service will always vary at different locations, but I'm never giving firestone another dime after that experience.

Anyone from Vancouver Canada know of a similar deal for us?

I feel you man. the service differ from store to store. its really hard to tell.

I also have mine with Firestone and service does differ from service center to service center. I have one in my town that is pretty good, then another about 5 miles down the highway that I will never go to.

I purchased mine the day after I had my Eibachs installed (so yes that is covered, thats why I bought it) and then went back again after the springs settled in, 2 alignments paid for itself already.

Good investment indeed. but having picked the right company is crucial.

Like I said, its not necessarily the company but rather the individual service centers. Firestone is all over the country, Im sure you can find more than one in your area. Your lifetime alignment is good at ANY Firestone, just find one that does good work.

true true.. i think thats what i mean when i type it lol

I work for BFRC, owns GCR/Firestone/Tires plus. If you use it, it will pay off. We tell all our customers to have checked every other oil change.

[devilmagic]

have alignment checked every other oil change? why after oil change?

[masterbeatty]

The dudes in wa told me once a year is good and if nothing is wrong then it is over kill to get it done once every 6k miles or 6 months. But if you don't have to pay for it it can't hurt.

[jdb10srcoupe]

1. its free
2. easier to remember
3. our roads suck in colorado, lol

[devilmagic]

lol oh i was wondering what alignment has anything to do with oil change haha

[boystar22]

Yea I usually have mine checked every other oil change as well. Our roads aren't THAT bad but we have our fair share of pot holes. Plus since i'm on staggered wheels I can't rotate so anything that will help the wear is a plus for me.

[devilmagic]

so what do you guys say.. a alignment every 6,000 miles sound like a plan then?

[AlexM.]

I'll be going to Firestone tomorrow to purchase my lifetime warranty. I just got BC Coils!

my dad just got an alignment on his 4x4 truck for $45 in Stockton CA. the place told him $45 for trucks and $35 for cars. he said they did a good job on his truck and he was really happy with the results. So I'm going to try them out one of these days... I have the Eibach pro-kit.

[obstacle]

i'm too lazy to research (lol), but is this alignment sale ending anytime soon? is it a limited sale? or on-going?

[devilmagic]

get it if you planning on a drop !

[terrycs]

+1 ... worth it. I take mine in every other oil change as well.

[devilmagic]

looks like im gonna follow the trend and do an alignment every oil change.
