2. Why does it take them so long to do the allingment (90.00/hour labor), and can the Porsche dealer do anything in the allingment process that my local "jack-of-cars" local mechanic cannot?
this car is cake to align; i have done several myself. it takes less than one hour. any reputable shop with one of the NEW hunter machines can do the job quite quickly and every bit as well as the dealer. make sure you have them print you the initial alignment values and the final values (the Hunter machines print a report).

the suspension on these cars is highly adjustable and designed so that this can be easily performed. i know our local dealers charge $180 for a 4-wheel alignment (atlanta area). private shops should be able to do it for under $100.
