I went their yesterday to get an alignment quote. Lo and Behold, they have a lifetime alignment deal. It is for the life of the car. It is normally 169, 139 now. I jumped on that. I also took the Pettit settings and had them apply them.

When I had my 323, I got some Michelins at Sears, and the lifetime alignment. At the time I was commuting to NJ from CT, 65 miles each way. I got my money out of that deal, I was coming in every other month.

Fortunately, the guy doing the alignment seemed to know his ****. He said he used to be on an Indycar team.

Also, I was curious about their tire prices. I asked for a quote on 245-45ZR16 S03s. He printed it out. They wanted to 231.99 per tire. I then mentioned that before I was getting TireRack tires drop shipped and installed locally. I told them TireRack had those tires for 178. He said he could do 188. I was surprised to find them so competitive. He also said he was a TireRack installation shop.

The other thing that surprised me, is I guess some of these franchise shops can do what they want. They had Firestones/Bridgestones/Falkens/Goodyear and a few other brands.

Given that this shop is so close, if he can get that competitive, I will probably be doing my business with him.

 

thats cool.......its kinda funny how they charge so much for tires, until you tell them about tirerack. Tell any tireshop about tirerack and you should be paying around the same amount
