I've had similar luck at my local Les Schwabb. When we got our bus it wasn't fun to drive on bridge decks or grooved pavement, crosswinds, past trucks, you know...

The 4 wheel alignment was $24.00, and the guy showed me the numbers and said the he loved working on it because it was the most "alignable" car he'd worked on. Apparently he wasn't kidding because it goes straight down the worst of roads hands off. We've put over 50,000 miles on those tires and they still look new.
