$125 is not unreasonable for an alignment (at least here in Orlando). It's what i pay for my two roadsters. Most chain stores (Sears etc) align to within factory specs which often can have relatively large +/- tolerances.

I have read about people coming back from a alignment with castor and camber setting with as much as 2 degrees difference between left and right sides, thats not acceptable in my book.

Any good independent shop will accept your desired custom alignment settings and get the car as close to them as possible with tight tolerances.

And if you do not know what settings you want, have a conversation with the tech, tell them what you want from the alignment (track set up, autox set-up, or best for even tire wear) they should be able come up with a good set of settings for you.
