    I threw some weight last week. Waiting to bring it in when I rotate the tires, I'll have them do an alignment. Where is the Sears you go to John? The one near me is on the verge of dying and would be great to have a back up for my lifetime alignment.

    I'm gonna guess you go to the one at the Berkshire mall? Cause that's the one I go to. The Sears auto out in Albany closed up I think. Firestone seems to be a little more available. Theres one in Pittsfield to

    Haha yup!
    He does a pretty good job I have to say. Someone there drives a silver access cab Tacoma that's pretty nice looking. Cause every time I go there it's parked there. I thought there might have been another Sears somewhere in Adams or something

    He does. He is good to my truck.
    I brought my Ray10s there for mounting and he was so upset that he "marred" one of the wheels. He brought it around and I said where's the wheel you where talking about? He showed me. I said "Ken, I wouldn't have noticed."
    The tires were so tight that be had to use a compressor to pop them one and the machine sometimes makes a mark.
    I told him, "they will see worse, trust me." :laugh:

    Haha yeah he's a good guy with all of that. He's good about tweaking the alignment slightly even if the machine says it's good but the truck still has a slight pull.

    Yeah, I am going to have him do my next one. When I went last time he was off. The kid there did alright, but it could be better.
    I knew I would be back soon.

    He knows me going in so he's good about it. The one lady that's there didn't understand why I came back for a slight alignment adjustment after I had it done 4 weeks prior. I just told I don't want to fry $400 in two tires and also it's warranty to

    Their prices aren't bad. But the customer service sucks. I was gonna buy new snows from them but once I got there they forgot they only had 3... wouldn't have been bad but I called ahead to confirm they had 4. Last truck they fucked up both tie rods and the alignment so it fried the Cooper ATPs I had

    Wow! Cool. Had a nice visit with John. Then people started to come in. We were there shooting the shit for about an hour and a half before that happened. Nice guy. Good beer. Love where it is located.
