Like most things in life. You'd more likely get what you paid for.

Couple of years ago, I changed the wheels on my SLK. There was this tire and alingnment place next to my work. They had the setup with computers and what not. Great, I thought. I can save some money here. They did my alignment for $80. The dealer would have been $180. Got my car back an hour later - drives well but the steering was like one hour off center. Took it back - they got the steering to center but the drive was sluggish and pulled to one side. I ended up taking the car to the dealer. Paid the $180 but was satisfied. Morale of the story: cheap doesn't mean your gain; and better be assured of the shop's capability before using them.

BTW, the last time I was at the dealer, I was told, at the minimum, you should have an alignment everytime you replace your tires.
