Alignment question - Page 2

It's a 4-wheel alignment for $149.

They don't call it "stealership" for nothing.

(BTW, I saw an ///M6 there. Nice car. With that purchase, I'd be about $130,000 poorer)

$149 sounds about right for this area, at an independent non-BMW performance shop.

what does electric steering have to do with it?

alignment is still a mechanical issue, isn't it? caster, camber, tie rod ends, etc are still the same, right??

4 wheel alignment (right front and right rear were toe'd out thanks to a monster pothole hidden by water puddle) on the Malibu just cost me 89.99 at the Chevy stealer

Got me, but they charge $350 to align it at the dealer - which is double the normal charge.

I paid $90-ish for a fantastic alignment at one of the tirerack approved shops near me. They even test drove and swapped the front tires among each other for perfection. New tires, that is.
