Alignment in PDX Area

[Epzey]

I got a comprehensive inspection last week. One of the things noted was excessive wear on the inside of passenger rear tire. Alignment was recommended. I reached out to Discount Tire who said they could do the alignment on my R1T when I showed up they now said they couldn’t. I’ve had to do two alignments in less than 30k miles and at 42.5 this will be my third. This is the most I’ve done on any vehicle. Some people in other areas have said they have had better longevity at other independent shops. Curious if anybody else has done alignments at another shop in the Portland area.

The SC who did the inspection doesn't do alignments? Most alignment shops don't have Rivian's specs in their system, so they can't do it. Unless you grab & print an alignment sheet shared by one of the forum members for the shop to reference—here's one of many examples from forum search—and that they willing to work with that info, know what points of the suspension to adjust and have the correct tools to do it.

Any place with a Hunter alignment system *SHOULD* be able to access the correct information to perform an alignment on Rivians, actually making the adjustments may be a different story, not sure if there is separate hardware or tooling to adjust... This reply hasn't been helpful at all really. I'd echo the lasy poster's question, does the SC not perform alignments?

I had my R1S in for miscellaneous delivery issues at the PDX SC and they checked/fixed the alignment without me having to ask.
