    Hi guys, I am bringing my car into a local (gas station) shop to get an alignment done. Should I trust them?? Or should I pay a little more and have the dealer do it? Any recommendation? Is there anything I should ask them?

    Todd did mine for about $140 something. He did a good job too!

    John, since you are going to stock alignments, go to TirePlus, Discount, or similar. There is no need for a $140 alignment! I think it will run you ~$75 to get it aligned at Tires Plus. They all have stock alignment specs and it isn't rocket science. My $0.02...

    I'm at the store right next to the Northtown mall. It's on Springbrook drive. Alignments are $64.99 and I/we can talk about dialing them in to specific specs if you'd like.
