Les Schwab back in Oregon was incredibly awesome. You'd pull into the parking lot, and before you could get out of your car there'd be a guy come running to see what you needed. You'd give him your keys, and then go stand at the bay window in the waiting room and watch the guys just flying around the garage - any fat guys that got a job at Les Schwab didn't stay fat for long. When I busted a wheel outside of Redmond and the shop there didn't have it in stock, they sent a truck down to Bend or somewhere to get one, and then put my tire on it. On a saturday night, after closing time. I don't know if it's that Les Schwabs in Utah never bought into the corporate culture when they expanded, or if the whole company has gone downhill since Les died, but it's a shame.
I've been getting $40 alignments at Advanced Automotive on 3500s in West Valley. They're pretty quick, and they haven't done a bad job yet.
