The question is.. would YOU trust Sears to do the alignment. I wouldn't. $250 sounds pretty high, but that's what I paid for the first alignment on mine (won't go THERE again!). Actually I paid $300, and, like you, I had to leave it there all day!. Talk about a rip off. Another tire shop that I trust, an independent that supplies higher end cars and track guys, will do the alignment for, like Sears, $95. I'd say keep looking. But then again.. maybe prices are higher in your part of the country. $135 at Goodyear isn't bad at all, IF (big if) they know what they're doing. Talk to them and see if they know what they're doing, and have the proper equipment. I was told by the independent that a "regular" alignment machine won't properly do the Box. I believe him but, heck, he may be feeding me a line.
