Um les schwab? and it depends on the wheels and if you are swapping tires. firestone ran me 250 for it. So my 2cents are somewhere else.

at les schwab it's 750 for a mount and 1250 for a balance per wheel. If you talk to the right guy, they probably won't charge you for the mount

I may just do it at walmart because I'm pretty poor. I just need a place to do my alignment at.

I'm biased on that one. I paid $200 for a lifetime alignment at Firestone, and I probably have my car aligned every other month on average. They always do a good job, and I can't complain because they'll set to my specs. :)

I understand buying tires elsewhere, but until Les Schwab wants me to pay $200 once and get as many lifetime alignments as I damn well please, I'll still take it to Firestone.


Locations I go to (in order of frequency): 17th and Washington in Ogden, 30th and Wall in Ogden, and Main street in Roy. And apparently AAFES just struck a deal with Firestone, so they put one on base, but you have to be either military or veteran to go there.

Firestone in Bountiful on 500 south and 500 West, see Aaron. About $50 mount and balance. Get the lifetime alignment for about $150 and do it whenever you want. Aaron sets it to my specs, even puts weights in the front to represent my body weight. He can set it how you want it. Getting some H&R bolts to set my camber better.

It's too bad all you's guy's live way up north.Although I could try to make it worth your 2 hour drive I am not sure many of you are willing to try. For friends I usually charge 10.00 bucks a tire mount and balance. 40.00 bucks for an alignment. If you buy tires I'd do the alignment for free. Plus I can usually find some freebie goodies to throw your way too. And nobody will beat my price on tires. Try me with a pm.
