    Alignment location in South Seattle / Federal Way Area

    I know this has been posted before but the thread seemed to have dissolved...I just purchased a set of adjustable front control arms which I'll be installing soon. Can anyone recommend a location that is:

    - lowered car friendly
    - knows how to properly adjust control arms
    - perhaps offers free lifetime adjustments like Firestone
    - lately alignment tools

    Any help would be appreciated! Thx!

    Not really in the area you specified, but Tru Line in Bellevue is fantastic. Byron and his crew will go out of their way to make sure you are absolutely happy with their work. They are the most knowledgeable crew that I have found... truly the best of the best.

    Not sure about "lifetime" free adjustment, but again... their work is top notch. They'll fix it up if you find some weeks later that your alignment still isn't quite right.

    How does their work compared to dealership? I found that their price is almost the same as dealer..

    Truline has a location in south Seattle. They do great work they aren't the cheapest but they will align it however you want it setup.

    They're infinitely more pleasant to work with than the dealership and do just as good, if not better. As Chris said above, they will literally align it to however you want it... whether it's to factory specs or whatever.

    Thanks for the input. I'll be installing the arms within the next couple of weeks so I'll give Truline a call.

    Reached out to Tru-line...wow, they are not cheap. Going rate was $169/1yr/10K mile warranty. Ouch...I'm sure they do great work, but if i spend a little more, I can get Firestone's lifetime. Granted, FS isn't Tru-line, but I can have them align my AR until I'm 100% happy.

    You'll be going back a lot. I had the lifetime but they could never get it right. Would literally need to keep having them try again. Would waste 2 or 3 days to get an alignment. Also many of their shops are hesitant about doing custom specs.
