    I have been a customer for a while at the Brakes Plus here in Castle Rock CO and have always been impressed with the customer service I get. I mainly only go for alignment (which they always do better than 4 Wheel Parts) and I’ve had them do brake fluid flushes.

    Today, I went for an alignment. I just had new tires put on so that’s usually always what I do. They called me back and showed me that my alignment was still almost perfect. My caster was just slightly out but it’s driving perfect. They suggested I leave it alone and I agreed. NO charge.
    Awesome CS. Many places would have tweaked it a little and charged me full price.

    If you have a Brakes Plus near you, I would recommend giving them a try.

    I’m literally sitting in Brakes Plus right now waiting (reading tundras.com) for them to have a 2nd go at the alignment after my 6112 install. After my garage lift, the truck drove perfectly straight but as expected the camber was positive. After 500 miles to let everything settle, I brought it in to them yesterday and got out on the highway with now a slightly crooked steering wheel and a pull to the right. So far I’ve invested about 2-3hrs of my time waiting. I’m hopeful and cautiously optimistic that these guys know what they are doing.

    I’m sure every Brakes Plus will be a different experience. Let us know how it goes.

    This is great to hear. I just recently moved to castle rock and was going to have to look for somewhere that knew how to align our trucks. I’m leveling with 6112s here soon!

    Are you liking the look? Did you do anything to the rear? I was planning on holding off doing everything else until I am do for new tires but realllllly want to correct the stink bug look. I will be going there for sure. Are they off founders?

    Yep. Off Founders. I’m good with the leveled look. I probably wouldn’t mind a 3 inch lift but I decided I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole again.
    I didn’t do a thing to the back but add airbags.

    No diff drop or UCA. Drives great. They have nailed my alignment every time. I’ve been very satisfied.
