I'm on year 4 of a 5 year agreement with NTB for unlimited alignments. I request a specific tech each time I bring it in, which is usually every 6 months or so.

Firestone offers a lifetime alignment agreement, which I probably would have done in hindsight.

It's not the store I worry about but the technician actually touching the car. It can be hit or miss at just about any shop. I chatted up the tech that did my alignment the first couple of times, and I was pleased enough with his attitude and knowledge that I request him every time now. I'm lucky he's still working there.

i like the firestone in my area, they have installed Bridgestones for me ( same company ), however they stated my car was too low for their machine.

I can check the NTB near me.

Not today, but last night... Finally reached the "break-in" point on the motor! 1200 miles on the clock!

Mine too. I first saw it in the theater when I was in college and barely was able to keep from literally rolling in the aisle when Oddball's tanks were blaring "All for the Love of Sunshine" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad." My date thought I had absolutely lost my mind.

And their Sherman tanks are modified to run just as fast in reverse as they do forward. That way, they can get out of trouble just as fast as they get into it. LOL

Awesome feeling isn't it? Like the car's grown up. LOL.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll clear the sidewalk.
