it was called trail tires in west palm beach florida, they are on military trail just north of okeechobee blvd. super great shop known them for years, when i went down to florida last month they were still in buisness and its been 15 yrs since last time i been there. and thats all they ever charged for a lifetime alignment. larger vehicles like trucks and suv's were 75$. but seriously if you really know how a alignment was done its as easy as changing your oil, 145 is a overkill on the price to do a 10-15 min job.

But the chances of a small shop staying in business that long are much lower than a chain shop staying in business. And if your chain shop closes you can just go to another location.

And actually, with a front camber kit, Civic alignments are not all that simple. The bolts are impossible to reach with the wheel on the car, so you have to guess and check until you get the camber adjustment in spec.

And you seem to forget it's a lifetime alignment. It's still a good deal. If you get only a couple alignments then you've still lost no money over getting the lifetime alignment.

so trust i havent gotten the front camber kit on there yet, thats why i bought the unlimited aliegnment, are they hard to install? and you said they need to be adjusted? could i do that?

trustdestruction 05-24-2010 10:53 PM

Easy to install, yea. You can't adjust it, you need an alignment rack.

chrismag 05-24-2010 10:56 PM

okay cool. so after i install them can i drive it with out it screwing anything up?

trustdestruction 05-24-2010 10:58 PM

Yea, your camber will just be out of alignment until you get the alignment. But your camber is already out of alignment regardless, so no worries.

I would double check on the lifetime alignment agreement. Some shops won't mess with modified suspension.
