I live in Seattle, where should I take my car?

Ahh, yes, another Firestone (or other mass market outlet) story.  First
mistake, wish you'd mentioned it earlier!  John's rule #1.  NEVER take your
car to one of the places where the manager is likely to be on a first name
basis with the state attorney general.  And not because they're golfing
buddies, either.  The reason they're nearly all gone from much of California
is because they were forced to close here, and I know the problems aren't
just here.  Find a real brake and alignment shop (no, not Midas) and have
them do it.  HTH, John
