That sucks man. The firestone by my house does dropped cars, I posted earlier that one of the employees even has a lightly modded lex. But if they second guess it I wouldn't take it to that shop, they will do a half a$$ed job if you force them to accept your car.
And Lifetime Alignment is not that uncommon. Most of the big chains offer it. You can bring your car in anytime you feel something is wrong and they will give you an alignment. I decided to go with Firestone because it's 5 mins. from my house and they honor your Lifetime Alignment at any of their locations.

Well I got a firestone coupon for 20 off , so i thought i would go ahead and chance it. I went to the Firestone located on ElCamino in Sunnyvale next to the Toys R'Us.
But right away the clerk wasnt sure wether they could do a Lexus sc300 . The mgr said yes after thinking for a minute. Then as the clerk was writing up the work order , the mgr said "Its not lowered or anything is it?" When i said yes it is- He said they couldnt. And recommended Custom alignments by the way.
Now what i was wanting to know is , Is that the normal policy of all the Firestones or do most do alignments on lowered cars?
This wasnt a shock since the same shop had declined lowering my sc when i had my own parts a couple months back.
