Yea you got a pretty bad deal. I only paid like $350 for the same tires, and after visiting another shop for something else they told me they could have given me an even better deal.


Next time, shop around or try to haggle. Shop prices are many times negotiable. They want your business and will work with you as long as you aren't ridiculous.

you do relize a alignment is good for a very long time and i highly doubt you will get another one with that car. the only reasons you will need another one is if you change the tie rods or something or hit a curb or something and bend something.
another reason why you should have shopped around. dont feel bad about the tires lol, my jeep tires were 800$ but they are some damn good off road tires.

^$145 for lifetime alignment is a good deal man. **** ain't cheap in the city like it is in the middle of nowhere

You never know when you might need an alignment, something could happen, you might change ride height, change out suspension parts, etc. Lifetime alignments are a good idea for anyone who modifies their suspension. Plus, some places even let you transfer the lifetime alignment to another car.

well when i lived in fl it was 60 bucks. i do understand i have great prices here because of my isolation but damn 145 is way to high to do a 10-15 min job.

where the hell are you going that is $60 for a lifetime alignment? I would not recommend small business shops for lifetime alignments, they might be out of business next time you need an alignment and if you move to another city, they most likely won't have a shop there.
