General Notice to Scion Owners....

If you get any work done at the dealership make sure they charge you the Scion labor rate and not the Toyota labor rate. They are different. Right now Toyota Labor is $93/hr and Scion labor is $24/hr. Demand the Scion rate and talk to the service manager about it when getting work done to your car. The service manager may give you a hard time or actually not realize. If that is the case ask to speak with the GM. You may all continue...

Sorry Scott. I thought your crew should know this.

That's ridiculous, Shan.

Last time I had an alignment done, and paid for it... it was 50 bucks. You really need to find someone you know.

CricketC

^ yeah, im going to a local place now that deals with the 40+ vehicles where i work and he's been working on my parents' cars for years. ill prolly go to him from now on.

Shannon not saying this is right so dont everyone get all mad at me im just telling ya....Milahm put my TRD springs in and they did an alignment with it....i asked them about the h-techs and they said any changes you make like that such as springs you need an alignment...however you can drive for awhile and be ok but u will eventually need one and its good to get it done right away....im just quoting milham...so im not really sure i know my car need another alignment cause i wacked a pot hole hard and the car pulls to the right now lol

CricketC

Thanks Rob. I'll prolly eventually get an alignment in the summer, but I just wanted to be sure it was okay to drive around right after I drop it. Better to be safe than sorry.

With a drop as small as the TRD/H-tech drop, you should be fine.

I would still recommend getting it done within the first few months though

I have had my lowering springs on since october, had my suspension out a second time for shocks and struts on a month later and i haven't doone an alignment. I also can drive 75mph take my hands off the wheel and it holds straight forever. If youa going to get an alignment though, wait for ur wheels, cause thats where u will see ur biggest difference!

CricketC

Yeah, im hoping to get my wheels next week sometime...get everything on and then in a month or so I'll get an alignment.

bobthis

that would be your best bet

CricketC

mornin! happy hump day!
