That's good to know. There's a Firestone by Regency. Corner of Monument and Atlantic. Basically the Mall parking lot.

That's a good deal but how is their customer service? I'm very picky and I would pay more to have the job done right. I would also prefer to have someone work on my car that has the same interest and concern for cars....

I've heard some bad things about the Firestone deal. I.e., I was talking to someone at an autocross, can't remember who it was, who had that deal but when he brought his car in they tried to align it as a Honda Prelude.

IMHO, an alignment is important enough to warrant taking it somewhere you can trust, like Rhino. If your alignment gets screwed up, not only will your car have questionable handling, you might go through tires very quickly. Just my .02

Bring your own specs... they give you a sheet that shows the before and after numbers, so you can quickly point out if something is incorrect.

Remember, these guys aren't taking your car for joyrides or screwing with your engine, they're aligning tires.

Hit the nail on the head with that one. With any big chain store you'll more than likely have a tech working on/driving your car that doesn't give a &*%$. Rhino is the only place I'd take the S for an alignment.
