you'll figure a place sells tire will do a good job on alignment right? read on... so i dropped off my car on sunday afternoon for them to do alignment on my car. i know it's late when i dropped it so pick it up on monday is reasonable since i dont want to rush them and have poor quality of performance. i have been waiting for a phone call on monday thru out the day telling me the car is ready but until 5pm, i still dont receive any calls from these guys. so ok, i'll call them and was told the car is ready to go. after i arrived at the shop, they told me toe on one of the tire is off, and they did all they could to best possible result. but it is still way off from factory spec... so i drive my car to an auto shop i trust and have them raise the car up see what's going on...guess wut they found.... i'm in the garage and looking at it in person when the mechanic point out wut ppl from firestone did on my car. when u want to adjust toe for the rear tire, u adjust radius arm (also call rod). for my car, there is a bolt on both end of the rod, proper way to adjust the toe will be losen both bolt then it will be easy to adjust. but what happen here is...on both of my rod, the end with "U" link, where attach to the car body, are twisted all the way. which makes no sense if they did it correctly. the U link should be parallel to the car body at all time, so it looks like ppl at fire stone losen only one end of the bolt and force the arm to turn to adjust my toe....another prove is, on one of the arm, protection coated skin is completly removed, so the silver metal inside can be see directly. not only they don't know how to get the job done...when the mechanic check for me in the auto shop. 1 bolt on each arm is losen...it's sooooo lose that u can even turn it use finger... i mean...are u serious? not 1 but 2 bolt are losen after the job is done? that leaves the arm losen to the car body...if it breaks, falls, detach while i'm on a freeway, u do the thinking. so in conclusion, dont get those life time alignment thing at any place. why? because they put untrain, lack of knowledge people to work on your car. and in my case, they didn't even wrap up the job. 2 bolt were left losen after i signed the paperwork and left. customer service is bad: i have to call them myself to find out the car is ready lack of knowledge: force turn both readius arm when adjust toe poor quality control: car left with 2 bolt losen from suspension that might cause death. i'll recommend to go to a private own shop, since they care more about reputation. these guys at fire stone just dont know wut they r doing and they dont care. as long as u can leave the shop fine u r on ur own...yea....if i didn't find out those 2 losen bolt and my car crash a week later...none of their business.... read more
