Ace tires in clairemont also offers lifetime alignment. But that's the only location I'd go to. The ones down south suck, especially the one off lemon grove. Carlos, the manager, is one grumpy motherf*cker if you try to get it aligned to your specs and not his. I've argued with him before about my old TL's alignment. He finally agreed to align it to my specs and then told me that I was not allowed to bring my car back.

Stupid son of a b*tch.

The S2000 is very odd to align mainly because of the way you set the rear suspension, but then again just like everything else in the automotive industry finding someone to do a job on any car isn't hard while finding someone that will actually do it correctly is nearly impossible..

Having anyone align the S2000 that isn't at the very least ASE certified terrifies me, some of the stuff I've seen done by even "professional" alignment shops is outrageous...

Brad knows some of what I've seen considering it was his car

If your going to firestone take a look online for coupons or at least haggle some. I believe they had a $50 off $150 coupon online a while ago ($130 lifetime alignment FTW).

I do not myself as I don't have accurate enough alignment equpipment to do it properly, however I do have a very good alignment guy that does my personal car as well as some of my close track buddies. I posted his contact up in the Mechanic thread, there called mission autorepair check them out. Tell them I sent you there way and they will take care of you!

I got mine there for 80 bucks! I've always been happy except for the one time I had it done by the new guy and he screwed it all up. But I still go back when I know my buddy will be working on it, can't beat free work
