Can anyone recommend a reliable alignment shop within 50 miles around San Jose, CA. I'm getting a 3" suspension lift for my 2003 4runner.

 

The best alignment I could get was by Capitol Toyota on Capitol Expressway. ASk for Brian Hayden, service writer. He is pretty good and helps out pretty well.

 

I wish I could help ya there, I bought my tires at the Goodyear shop on Winchester & Stevens Creek, and they give me free alignment every xxx miles (don't know on the top of my head).

But since the grand prix is in town, you could just walk up to one of the mechanics during the race and act all crazy and he might just have his 20 people team fix up your runner just to never see you again .

Yeah I know, too many hollywood movies

 

Got my alignment done at Sears and it was fine. I think next time I'll go to Firestone. More expensive but it is a lifetime alignment.

 

the firestone alignment is $159 for a lifetime alignment... not sure how or if they warranty it on a lifted vehicle though....

 

I got a lifetime alignment at this dealer ($140 if I remember), and Brian also got the OME front struts installed for me.

 

If you can get a good price on the lifetime alignment where they won't make you pay for it over and over if you change out parts, that's nice to have. Otherwise , I threw a post up not too long ago about how to do your own alignment. I personally did the best alignment my truck has ever had in my garage with a right angle, string, tape, and small ruler.

Rishi-
Where are you getting your truck lifted??
I am thinking about lifting mine, and haven't found anyone around willing to attempt it, let alone actually know what they are doing.
Thanks.

firestone does warranty lifted vehicles. I get mine done everytime i get done wheeling. I figure i go wheeling 3-4 times a year(not as much as i want to) and if i get my alignment knocked out 50% of the time @ 79.00 per alignment, its cheaper for me to get the lifetime.

 

that is weird cause when i got the recal done on my 2nd gen they toyota dealership on capital said they couldn't do the alignment because of the the lift???
