Default Alignment Deals/Shops

I just dropped off my car at Big "o" Tire near my work for a alignment. Its costing my 70.00$ for it all. Is there any shops were you can purchase a package or something for alignments all year? Because I will need one for sure after I get new rims and tires, and pretty mush whenever I switch between the stockers and the aftermarket ones. Any ideas?

Oh, and I forgot. My alignment was off. I don't understand the #'s they gave me, but 3 different locations were in the red. Front-left, Rear-left, and Rear.

I know there was a Firestone dealer here in the south bay that had a lifetime alignment deal, that was pretty sweet... it was only like 120-130. I don't know if all Firestones do that or if it was just one place.

You shouldn't need a new alignment every time you swap rims though, I do it all the time for auto-x.

If I remember right, there is one off Kietzke near Moana. I am not sure though.

Go to the Firestone at S. Virginia and Grove and talk to Kevin, the manager. He's a cool guy that I've known for a few years. They do my mounting and balancing and alignments, which are about the only things I can't do myself. I think they do that lifetime alignment, but I'm not sure. Tell him I sent you if you go, he might be able to hook you up a bit.
