Did she tell you she would top off your blinker fluid too?

I would do it.

BS go to a place that isn't a tire seller to get an alignment.

unless you have severe cupping or wear on one side.

No tires are needed for alignment. Alignment is a direct measurement from hub to hub, not tire to tire.

Clerk tells me that they can't do a front end alignment unless I get 4 new tires.


Sounds about right for an Allstar dealer. Alignments from dealers suck anyway.

Allstar dealerships are the worst. If you're willing to drive to Walker i can give you info on the guy that does the best alignments.

correct. The heads are comped rotating the wheel 360 degrees. This centers the heads to the axis of the hubs.

Probably a company policy in order to try to sell you tires.

Tell her you won't pay unless she shows you her tits and that is a package deal. I mean if they are incorrectly causally linking things and all.

I would bet that someone sued them for ruining their old tires with a bad alignment and this is their response.

Drive down Airline to the hood and let Jim's Wheel Alignment fix you up. I've never had an alignment done anywhere else, and I've always been pleased. Best of all, it's all by appt, so there's no waiting 2 hours hoping you're next in line.
