Reliable Phoenix Alignment shop needed

Hey guys,
I know there are a few Valley owners out there and my 99 runner is in need of an alignment.
Any good recommendations?
Thanks, kenny

Big O in Mesa. Baseline & Power. Alignment guy's name is Mike. I ended up getting a lifetime alignment there for about $110.

$110? You got ripped. Big time. I've never paid more than $45 for an alignment, and thats for a 4 wheel alignment...

As far as a 4Runner goes, you can take it anywhere and get solid results. All you need is a front end alignment. Toe and camber are easy to adjust on these vehicles, so any garage with your average lube tech tard can get you within spec.

If you're really anal, get some fishing line, some electrical conduit and a straight edge and do it yourself. Takes some number crunching to compensate for the different front and rear track on a 4Runner, but I used to accurately align the toe on my Integra with these simple tools all the time...

No dude, you didn't read what I posted. LIFETIME alignment. As in pay once, go back as many times as needed at no cost. I've knocked my alignment silly on the trail so this is an option that will pay for itself in my case.

Big O's standard alignment is $45.

And I disagree that any old shop will be fine. I've had bad alignments before, maybe Sharrack has too which is why he's asking for a recommendation. A lot of guys will align to factory specifications only, this does no good if you've got Tundra suspension (or whatever). The guy at this shop did a great job and aligned it as required.
