    All that is is an upsell tool to get you in the door. Once on the site, they can find all sort of problems with your truck.

    Kinda money looser with us old Tacoma owners. We know our way around our trucks.

    I thought there was some law that said that they need to prove that something directly affects the thing they are repairing, for instance they can't say we can't do an alignment for you if theres a giant hole in the radiator. but I may have been thinking of the magnunson moss act... or maybe that would apply?...

    My thought is that every time I needed an alignment, I was defiantly at fault. I just can't even see going to an alignment shop 2 years later asking for an allignment adjustment.

    I can see it a week or so later after driving the truck for a while and deciding it needed to go back.

    Getting the OBA all installed. One more compressor to fit in and a bit of wiring but it's starting to take shape now...

    It's an actual lifetime alignment service, not warranty, that you pay extra for. In case you didn't open the link that was posted, here's a screenshot. Looks like it's about 2 and a half times the cost of a single alignment.

    12000 limited lifetime warranty.

    You smack a curb, they can refuse to align the truck.

    Still haven't convinced me it's worth it.

    Yeah, I'm not trying to convince anyone, I don't even have it. Was just sharing information. It just sounded like you might've had a hard time believing they even sell a service like that. And the limited life time you mention is on the single alignment they sell.

    I probably suck at explaining it, but the actual info in the link does a pretty good job of it.
