I used to work there as an service advisor and know the tricks very well! Each store has service dollar, tires, alignment, and credit card sign up goals daily. Each store needs to hit it or get yelled at. EVERYTHING is negotiable!! Service,tires,etc. they have to make a sale and don't want you to walk out the door and not buy anything. Keep that in mind you filthy animals. I gotten the lifetime alignment for only $75 before when I was just a customer at a random firestone. You have to sweet talk them. If you need something fix or tire prices. Go get quotes everywhere then call firestone and tell them the best price you found and take 10-15% off that and tell them "that price" and if they can beat them you will leave XYZ auto shop and drive there now for their business instead. You need to play the game bc auto shops play you harder than I play with zachs mom on the weekends. Also big FYI every shop hates doing realignment after the initial bc it's free and they don't get paid. Watch them like a hawk and install camera if you have to bc they take you car for a test drive before and after alignments so "some" mechanics that is pissed bc they are commissioned and wasting their time on free is going to floor or slam on the brakes or basically wear n tear your shit up on purpose. But this is good deal if yo find a reputable shop that will do it correctly and if they don't, call corporate on their ass. They get scared shitless and the DM will personally call but then you shouldn't ever go back there again and need to find a different firestone or sister store due to revenge on your car there. Good luck you beautiful filthy animals. Love you

I have lifetime alignment and 2 out 3 Firestones reps change their tone when I mention I want free service. One just refused saying come back a month later. it sure wasn't like this a couple of years back.

Another Firestone story. Once I called ahead saying I want 4 new tires put on. They said come in asap. I goto the store with tires bought at a different store and they flat out said to come back in 2 weeks. I told them about my phone conversation, but they said I must have called the wrong store. Firestone was an authorized installer for my new tires.

I just go to another chain now and get treated with dignity.

Went to firestone for brakes and rotors once and their mechanic broke my left front axle and then admitted to it and then retracted when I got firestone corporate involved. I will never use firestone. Firestone did not refund the brakes nor the cost for a new left front axle. Firestone just refunded the a single rotor.

Quote from billmr :
Most cars today only have front toe adjustments
All cars have front toe, caster, and camber adjustments, and most have rear toe, caster, and camber adjustments. The shops try to adjust only toe because it is much easier and quicker, but the others need to be checked and adjusted. In particular the rear toe and thrust angle will affect handling and tire wear.

This appears to be a "front end alignment" when what is needed is a thrust or four wheel alignment. Even if the front end alignment is perfect there can be excessive tire wear and handling issues if the rear is not also adjusted to fix thrust angle.

I learned the hard way to do my own
I hear that, but it is essentially impossible to do an accurate alignment without a rack. I've tried a lot of different methods, but unfortunately no one has found a way to adjust thrust angle accurately enough without a rack.

My personal experience with the Firestone shop I pass by frequently is similar to many who have posted which is: Avoid like the plague. I could write a short book on my various negative experiences but in the interest of time I will just share one. I purchased LT alignment on my van and would take it in after changing tires and/or struts. The adviser appeared to be angry that I just bought 4 tires somewhere else (Sams Club). The sales adviser was pushy and want to up-sell anything they could. They they would do the alignment but once the adviser stated I needed new tie rod which cost $$$$ and I asked him to show me why. He had no clue that I understood how steering and alignment work and made up a story. After I sold my van in 2012 I said never again go to Firestone as I had zero trust. I found another shop that was honest and simply wave when I drive by this place on my way to my preferred shop.

Why would the random mechanic working there care if you're paying or not?
The mechanic gets paid by the job - so he could be doing a job he would be paid for versus spending an hour working for free.

Had firestone do the alignment in July 2019. Three months later the front left bearing went bad. This was a $225 bearing. They don't just fail like that.
Bearing pretty much do "fail like that". An alignment would not have caused your bearing to fail, unless it was way off - and you would notice the tire wear and handling issues well before that.

Quote from WildflowerGuru :
If you put on new tires and you feel a pull to the left or right, or allow the steering wheel to show you at various levels of speed... then you definitely need an alignment.
Those aren't the only symptoms of the need for an alignment, and it can be asymptomatic.

If you have hit a curb or a chuck hole or a bump, if your tires are wearing quickly or have unusual wear patterns, if your steering wheel is not straight when you drive straight, if your tires make noise, etc. are additional symptoms of needing an alignment.

Total is 134 for NJ state, this includes all.

Is that price is correct?

This is a scam, they do not honor additional alignments after the first and will rudely ask you to leave.

I bought this deal for my last company car when I was down in Louisiana. The Firestone place near me was very professional and never up-sold me on anything. I have only bought 1 set of tires from them but had used the lifetime alignment about 6 or 7 times. Even thought they were good, I never brought any of my personal cars there. I think in total, I saw about 4 different techs out of the 6/7 times I went to do my alignment.

I'm at a new place now and I think I'm just going to skip it this time.
