Hi,
Those are not your only two choices. I have mine aligned by a competant local race shop. IIRC, my shop last charged me $175, and the job was done right. They are much more experienced than a Dealer and more precise than the average Franchise. My experience has been that while the Franchise shops do OK with a Daily Driver, they are often lacking when it comes to a 4-wheel alignment, which you should have.
A proper Alignment has maybe more to do with the person, than with the shop, or even the machinery. The required turnover in the Franchise shops (maximizuing the $/Bay/day) can inhibit doing the job properly. Proper alignment makes the car safer and protects your investment in Tires and maximizes the life of the suspension components.
Check in your area, or contact the local PCA Chapter, they're sure to have a recommendation for you. Good Luck!...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
