That’s a reasonable price, but have you thought about DIY? It could save you a good chunk of change, especially if you’re comfortable with tools!
DIY can sound appealing, but it requires specialized equipment like a camber gauge and alignment tools. I don’t think most of us have those lying around!
Exactly! Plus, if you mess it up, it could lead to uneven tire wear, which might cost more in the long run.
I always prefer professional alignment. Better safe than sorry, especially when it comes to safety and performance.
Totally agree, Samantha. It’s an investment in your car’s health. A little extra cost can save you from bigger issues later on!

But, come on! Sometimes DIY feels so rewarding, even if it isn’t always the most sensible choice. Anyone managed to get it right themselves?
I tried DIY once and let’s just say I ended up back at Firestone! Lesson learned: leave it to the pros. My wallet didn’t like it, but my car did!
Haha, sounds like a common story. It’s nice to hear someone admit it! Anyone know the exact tools needed for DIY, though?
From what I’ve read, you’ll need a camber gauge, a string for measurements, and possibly a torque wrench. Not too many people have those! Just more reasons to choose Firestone.
That’s a bit much for a simple task! Honestly, I’d rather sip coffee in the waiting room at Firestone than sweat it out in my garage.
