Anyone have any experience with them? My front end is in bad shape including sticking caliper so I stopped in to a new shop they just opened up by me. They use Raybestos who I'm not familiar with either. I was surprised they'll replace my aftermarket UCA ball joints which are going bad along with the LBJ.

Yup, been dealing with them for a few years now.
Always good work, they stand behind it as well.
They are not the cheapest by any means.
They won't do my allignment for less than $95 an hour as I have adjustable links now.
They have great service for the tires they sell.
I can trash one on a stump...replaced no questions.
Flat repair no charge

Raybestos is a quality break pad.
Not sure who's ball jo9nuts they will spec for you but I would bet it's a good part.
They wouldn't be as big as they are if they sold junk.

Thanks Brandon, that's encouraging. My UCA's are made by Speciality Products who also makes alignment gear for shops so they're very familiar with the company and have a relationship with them. Also thanks for the good eord about Raybestos. I might just give them a try.

Dropped my Suburban off to them first thing Saturday morning to have my tires siped and alignment checked. I told them I needed it back by 3pm and was told no problem. 3:30 rolled around with no word from them so I called about my truck. They said the siping was done but the alignment was not and said they'd need it till 5 to finish the alignment, with a lot of attitude. I picked up my truck and haven't been back. What was "interesting" was when I picked up my truck, there was a truck on the rack that was not there when I dropped mine off and they don't take appointments.

I use Morrison Carworks for everything that I don't want to do or have the time to do. Clint is old school, honest and will treat you right.

Which location? I've found different locations can be vastly different. The one I'm considering just opened in Aurora by my house.

i.e., I use a specific Discount Tires that's excellent but not the closest to my place.

This was at the Bowles/470 location.

I've gotten multiple sets of tires for several vehicles from the Parker location. They are awesome. Tires aren't the cheapest but they're warrantied and they honor the warranty (So, how'd it happen? OK) I called them at 10:00 in the AM because my wife wanted wheels before a road trip the next day. Called Davis, we went through catalogs, he tracked down the wheels she wanted (odd size) and had them installed by 4:00. Another time they even came and picked up wheels from my house, tired them up, and dropped them back off when I was out of town for work. We got to know them because my wife got a flat, we took it to get repaired and it was no charge. They just do it as a member of the community. I like them, I won't go anywhere else.
