Took the crv to get tires rotated and have the alignment checked . This is not the normal one I go to . I went the only one close by that did alignments

This discount was odd in that they used exclusively floor jacks . Not a quick jack in sight .

They had a fancy hunter rack . Took about an hour total . The alignment was off less that I thought it would be .

Cost for alignment was 89 and tax . It used to have a pull to the left now it’s pretty straight .

Here is the before and after readings .

Interesting, Discount Tire does not do alignments at any store I've been to in the state of Texas. Where are you located?
 
I hope more and more Discount Tires get alignment racks. Some are not possible space-wise. I had my Traverse aligned recently and I took a look at things while they had it on the alignment rack. They showed me the adjustment points in the rear. That was new to me. They got it dialed in quickly. Can't beat that deal.
Also... speaking of rotations, I love that they cross tires from one axle to the other (and move the others straight to the other axle if that makes sense). That way with regular rotations each tires spends an equivalent amount of time at each corner of the vehicle.
 
we had a new Discount tire just open in october and I asked if they were going to do alignments and the manager who transferred from the Seattle area to run the store told me that due to the cold weather in Montana they would not have an alignment rack as the overhead heater/blowers screw the readings up...he said it is not a problem in warmer weather unfortunately not something they wanted to mess with.
