I sure hope so for that price.

$60 alignments work just fine for me.
express tire on rosecrans has done dozens of s2k's and for $107 you get a 3 year unlimited alignment. Or for like $130 its lifetime

it's just an alignment, not a paint job or motor tune.

no idea. HFS Joe told me about it a while back, I went there, and the owner was very cool and had done many s2k's... so i didnt even think twice.

$140 every time for an alignment is just pissing your money away.

again and again.

You can't pay for quality. After running the Euro Spec Allignment done by them, I'm convinced.

it's just like wheels man. You pay for quality of it.

Work, Volk, Blitz > Rota, All Day.

if you are comparing an alignment to wheels, you are wrong. sure you can have your opinion, but that is apples and oranges.

I will get an alignment every 6 months, or every time I adjust my wheels or coilovers. At that rate after a few years you would pay +/- $1000 for alignments. Not worth it, no matter how you want to spin it. An alignment doesn't make the car look better or go faster. Maybe handle slightly better, but not anything worth that money.

but, thats my opinion. if you want to waste $140 every time, by all means, piss away
