Alignments

[firecadet613]

Well I think my truck needs an alignment.  Last had one about 10 months and 15,000 miles ago when it got all new balljoints.  It is pulling to the left a little but, but I kinda think its too soon to be needing an alignment again.  Anyways...wheres the best place to go for an alignment?

I used to use Mueller Tire, which was a local chain in the Cleveland area.  They got bought out by Tire Kingdom which I believe is based or at least has shops in Florida.  I bought a 5yr package from them and have been there twice with good results.

Believe it or not when I had to have my truck aligned to center the steering wheel (under warranty) the truck went to the F*rd garage!!!  The reason was that my truck was too big to fit on my dealers machine...  So they sent a tech guy and my truck to the "other" place and rented the machine from them!!!

 

I would prefer to have the alignment done by GM, but it can be pricey.  However they should know your vehicle better than anyone else.

 

Be careful with places like Sears etc...  because I have heard that they will try to sell you things that aren't necessary.  Try to stick with a tire shop that is reputable.

I go to our local Goodyear tire place to have mine done. I know the owners and plus I stand there in the bay watching the guy do the work, so I know whats needed and whats not.
