    No worries. The 4Runner doesn’t stick out quite as much as your Tacoma does!

    Hey All,
    Want to get the 4runner aligned this morning after a suspension upgrade this weekend. Anyone got any good places in No. Berkshire County? Or @DrFunker any good quick paces in Pitts?

    Tire Warehouse over on Merrill Road in Pittsfield isn't to bad. I would avoid Mavis, I had bad luck there a few times. If you don't mind heading over the mountain you can try Fat Body Customs in Stephentown NY. They now do alignments and are very familiar with aftermarket suspension components.

    I'm in Hancock, so shouldn't be too bad to NY, I'll check on google maps! I've done a road balance at Tire Warehouse there and you are right, wasn't bad.

    Thanks! I'll check both out

    They are right over the border! I'm gonna call them and probably go there! Prob 10 minutes from my house.


    Edit: Let the phone ring 5 minutes with no answer, so called tire warehouse, they'll do it at 9am. Thanks!

    Thanks for the tip, that's way out there for me though, probably over an hour away.

    Yeah, I'll keep giving them a try for stuff, there's always something that needs to be done and I prefer using local guys over national chain. Although, I'm sure there is a local owner at tire warehouse too.

    Am I too late?
    I use Firestone, but the techs there are hit and miss. I have heard that City Tire is pretty good.

    I have gone to city tire for a few things, last couple times I called about alignment their rack was down, so I guess I've just been looking for other options. Seemed to go well at tire warehouse, at least it doesn't shake!
