4 wheel alignment NTB or Toyota

IMHO, its a waste. Only time you need to do an alignment is when you mess with the suspension (replace/upgrade), have unusual tread wear, or no longer track straight. In the five years I've owned my 2017 Two Eco, no such problems requiring an alignment.

i'm surprised no one has responded. i have seen quite a few ntb posts over the years, and don't recall (m)any bad ones. they likely do a fine job. i would never go to the dealer.

 

I would put my money on Les Schwab in this case then.

 

I do this a lot. Buy and sell a lot of cars.

The dealer will do a better job than anyone, but they are hard to get into. Mine is usually 3-4 weeks out on scheduling.

An independent shop that specialized in alignments is your second best bet.

The big chains are awful. NTB? Firestone? Goodyear? All the same low skilled low wage goombas. Chances are you will have to go back to have them fix it again. They'll get the wheels aligned but there is more to an alignment than that. Most likely your steering wheel will lbe off be 5-10 degrees, or they will leave one of your tie rods loose... and 100% of the time they do not calibrate your YAW/steering angle sensors which is part of the process on any modern vehicle.

In other words, I would not go to NTB. Go to the dealer.
