Portland alignment shop recommendations

looking for any recommendations for a good alignment shop in the Portland area. I have a lifted 2017 tacoma and last tech wasn’t the best

 

I (as well as other peeps i know) usually take mine to Jim Bacon's in Beaverton.

Other folks like to use Firestone as they got the LifeTime alignments, but some shops/workers are luck of the draw on if they are good or not...

 

I've got the Lifetime alignment on both vehicles, and the one before that, the one before that.... Totally worth it IMO. But at my normal Firestone I was once told that they couldn't align it because the front end was worn out and needed a new one at $700. Uh...no. Went to another shop and told them the story. They checked the alignment and found nothing wrong. I subsequently went back to the normal shop and never had a problem again with a misdiagnosis. I usually just scheduled an oil change and alignment check every 7K miles (synthetic oil).

Outside of that, when I got my Taco, the rear end was bent. On the East side (up 205 past Clackamas) you can go to Kalberers. They straightened the rear and did the alignment. Definitely make an appointment instead of trying to just get in. They seemed really busy when I picked my truck up.

 

I got mine done at Norb's Alignment in Hillsboro for like $90. Originally went to Firestone, but couldn't do the lifetime due to wheel bearings being bad. Think I'll be going back there now that I have it swapped, and they offer Lifetime alignment deal.

 

Personally, I stick with the Firestone in Beaverton as I know the manager there and he ensures shit is squared away. I say it is all about "feeling out" the store/shop and developing some rapport with the techs who be touching up on your rig. To borrow a phrase from Always Sunny, I make sure I give the ocular pat-down of anyone who touches my Taco or Subi.

 

I've had great luck with these guys over the years. Used them on a number of cars I've had. Sent folks there and they've all had good luck too. They have two companies, A-N-T Tires and Trackside in the same place. Little hole in the wall off Interstate. I'm new to the truck world, but they do a lot of rally stuff, so I'm assuming they do truck stuff.

I'll second that. They are really nice and helpful and come highly recommended by friends of mine that are deep in classic car and racing worlds. Also, I bought my 1st gen from one of the guys that works there. He took great car of that truck and knows Toyotas well.
