Default Firestone for alignments?

Hey guys, i'm new to the area as this is my first semester at ODU, and was wondering if any of the Firestones around here do decent work and are relatively competent at aligning a car. I have lifetime alignments at Firestone so that's why i'm asking specifically about them. Other shops that you could recommend me to would also be nice. Thanks.

I will be taking my car to Racewerks next week. I went to the Firestone in Chesapeake and they did a decent job getting close to the specs that I wanted.

There's a guy out at the Firestone at Chesapeake Square mall. Bit of a hike, but the guy knows his stuff for sure! He races a 510.

Unfortunately the one on granby stopped doing my custom setup for free. They said corporate will now only honor the free lifetime deal back to factory specs but they did put a tech about my size in the passenger seat and hit my requested specifications without too much variance. Lasted a few years of autox so I can't complain too much.

I'd love to hear if one still does it in the area.

Do they do a good job doing alignments? I have only gotten my tires stretched from them, forgot they started doing alignments. And alignments are getting expensive...

I tried calling a firestone by my house, unfortunately they only do up to factory specs as well. I wanted to get their lifetime alignment deal just because I mess with my alignment a lot...

They do a fantastic job. The Hunter machine is better than the one currently at Mercedes.

Alright cool, thanks man! I will definitely check them out next time I need to get an alignment. I have just been waiting on a company to release control arms on my car...
