so I needed my alignment redone. took it to tire kingdom yesterday because they do it for like 75 bucks. I go sit down watching tv and 15 mins later the guy comes back in and hands me my keys and says the left front outer tie rod end was bad. they wanted to charge me $52 for a new tie rod end plus labor plus the 75 for alignment. I was like uuuhh nope. took it to a local shop for a second opinion, my tie rod ends are perfectly fine and got my 4-wheel alignment done for $60. so avoid tire kingdom they'll try to take it to ya without lube.

 

thanks for the warning, I should also mention that in my area les schwab tires has pissed me off on more than one occasion, very poor service
