LifeTime Alignments, Who has em?

How do you like it?

I see that Firestone has theirs for about 189,
Wheel Alignment: Car Tire Front End Alignment | Firestone Complete Auto Care

Pepboys offers it for 150
https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/529693/00818



I like the idea of being able to do suspension work and then run in and have them align it up with no additional cost.

Thoughts?

I have the Firestone lifetime, but the manager told me if i have any work done to the suspension they will not do alignment for free. In all honesty i think thats fair.

I can't see the value. For the vehicles I have owned long term, I may have had each aligned once about every 75-100k miles. I did have the 4R aligned today (not lifetime). As long as it holds up as well as previous vehicles, I will probably be driving something else before it needs it again. Lately, I tend to get bored with a vehicle after a couple of years unless it is something really special.

I have mine with Firestone. Adjusted and added new suspension parts multiple times and took it to for alignment. I think I've had 5 alignments done in my near two years of ownership. Never had an issue with them denying my lifetime alignment.

Adding UCA's in the near future so I'll be taking it back to them again. It depends on the Firestone and the managers/supervisors working those locations.

Firestone lifetime for me. Honestly it's hit or miss I ended up taking mine to a few different firestones to find the right guy that actually will try and not just put it in green etc. I've gotten excuses from its modified so we can only do so much, caster can't be change even with aftermarket uca's, we need to charge u extra to take off your heavy skid plates blah blah blah. I learned talking to the tech and asking him basic things and what I want and telling him how other ppl suck has helped lol
