You guys do 4 wheel alignments? Do you only do factory specs?

We are planning to leave at 7 AM so we should get there a little before 10 AM. Are you guys meeting somewhere for coffee before going to CarbConn?

There are 2 starbucks on 85th Street in Kirkland, one of which has huge lines and likes to burn your coffee, the other is by one of the best bakeries in Kirkland (also has a huge parking lot).

There is also a Zoka (small franchise of coffee makers) and they have some pretty good tasting stuff, parking for that is a little trickier, but it's right in the center of Downtown Kirkland.

Lastly, there is a Starbucks right next to Zoka in Downtown Kirkland, they're alright, but still have a parking issue.


All of these places are REALLY close to the Freeway so going to CarbConn is a simple 5 minute drive. I can give more detailed directions if we choose a common spot.

Ok, well since no one else is speaking up and there is a time constraint then let choose that one...

It's in downtown Kirkland and is really easy to get to (literally 1 turn off of the freeway)...

So if Traveling north on 405, you'll want to take Exit 18 (Kirkland/Redmond) and you will want to travel Westbound to get to Downtown Kirkland. When you get into Downtown Kirkland you will begin to go Downhill towards the lake (this is good), keep going until you see Parkplace on your left hand side. Parkplace is a mall-ish-thing with a 24 Hour Fitness, movie theater, QFC, and the Bakery/Starbucks we want. Take a lift past the Gym, so you'll be take a unprotected left in the middle of the street.

When you drive into the mall, you will see a Keybank and a Purple Cafe to your right, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT SPOT! Take a right just past the Purple Cafe and you will just drive straight for like 5-10 seconds and you will see starbucks on your left and QFC on your right! YOU ARE THERE!!!!!!

Here's a map:
