I always go to Russ' Alignment. 973-7439 Very honest. I went there one time for an alignment, after a few minutes, they handed me back the keys and said I was already within spec and it all looked good. No charge. They've earned my business for life.

Whatever you do DONT goto Les Schwab. I used to live in SLC and took my car to the one on 45th and state st. The tech took it out on a "test drive" after aligning it (to the wrong specs), got about 100 ft out of the parking lot, started racing another car down state, spun out, threw it up onto a curb and hit 2 parked cars in a for sale lot right down the road. Needless to say that car is totalled.....

No brainer for me. Big-O on Harrison in Ogden. They have a late model Hunter system with great techs. They are as anal as I am. Ask for Brandon. Tell him he still needs to let Bob know if he wants passes to the ALMS race at Miller Motorsports Park in May.......

I'm sorry, but that is absolutely hilarious. Even if it were my car I would have to laugh about it. So, whats going to happen? When did this happen? Did they buy you a new one? I'll tell you, I just had this hilarious mental image of a tech in his greasy clothes hawling ass, top down, with a huge "Shit Eating Grin" on his face...up until the point where he lost it into a pile of cars. HAHAH

Unbelievable.

This was just barely a year ago. Apr 07 if I remember correctly. Long story short the car was totalled out for a bent frame and they paid me what the car was worth plus all the money I had into it with aftermarket stuff. I basically drove the car for 14 months and didnt lose a dime (minus gas & insurance). I ended up buying another one but I worked really hard to buy that one so it still feels like a knife to the heart sometimes.


Oh, and the tech walked in and quit about 10 mins before they were going to fire him. From what Les Schwab told me he just got a CDL and was going to become a truck driver of some sort. The cop cited him for speeding, exhibition of speed, and reckless driving so I can only assume he not only lost his job at Les Schwab but didnt get the new job which makes me
