Now I'm downright freaked

Alignment took LESS than an hour, about a half hour work wise.
Cost me nothing.
When I bought new tires in April, I also purchased a "lifetime" alignment. I needed an alignment anyway, and the deal I got meant I got this lifetime thing wihtout paying more than $10 extra. So I figured, Maybe this is a scam, and got in the car. But the steering is nice and tight, so they DID do it.
It was odd not having to pay $60. *shudder*

where was this??

any car i drive seems to skew alignment to the left within weeks of me getting it. this being my third car, i got paranoid that something about my driving is causing it, but was told that could not be the case... but, with this car, i don't want to ignore problems, and so would like to get the alignment fixed...

Lifetime Alignment

Firestone runs that one.
I was at the Firestone/Bridgestone in Quincy Center. There, service is a crap shoot. I brought it in once to have a slow leak repaired, something that took 15 minutes, AFTER the 3.5 hours I spent waiting for them to GET to my tire. But, I'd planned on buying tires from them, I replaced all four, and got a serious deal, the tires, and alignment and all the necessary work was just over $400, which was nice.
I think the Lifetime Alignment was about $80 or $90, and you just keep a copy of the bill with the details on it, and walk into ANY Firestone associated with this and they do it, no questions, no payment, for the life of your ownership of the car. It MAY be for WHICHEVER car you ever have, but I don't think it went that far. May be worth looking into if you're having alignment probs.
Good luck.
