Post your Highest Stealership Alignment Rate! LOL

[Perfectlap]

ok still laughing....

let me pick myself off the floor...

ok my local dealer just quoted me $428 for an alignment!
uhhh no thanks. Well I was just curious I knew it would be at least $250-$300.

I was quoted $980 for the 30K mile service. I asked what is included and
got this answer by a nice young lady
"uhh its 'the annual' and a whole lot of other stuff on top of that"

I also emailed a service request for Ray Catena a big regional dealer that I go to because they have the Ritz Carlton of Waiting Rooms.

p.s.

I have not requested a quote for this yet but I had a funny experience with the Schneider & Nelson shop down in W Long Branch recently...I asked the parts counter for a red clip to enable the alarm when the top is down and they looked at me like I was crazy and went onto say they had not heard of anything like that.

Aristocrat motors

My dealer told me the $1000 30k service was basically a visual check. I asked about the plugs and he said "no, those are at 50k" I'm really confused. I think the guy is full of it.

Beverly Hills Porsche Alignment $300. Pasadena Rusnak $150. Berverly Hills price matches for me everytime.

Wow, talk about a ripoff. Yikes.

A guy at one of the local (non-Porsche) dealers does my alignments for about $100. He'll align to my specs, with me in the car. Very nice.

The other thing was that the rep claimed my 30K mile servicing would take all day at least six hours and that I would have to leave the car meaning I would have to camp out there for the day or rent a car to get home. Ridonkulus...

Oil change 1 hour?
air and pollen filter 15 minutes?
Spark Plugs 30 minutes with a lift?

So it takes them 4 hours to do a full inspection? hmmm....

Is there any reason not to get an alignment at a tire shop. I get my warrany work at the dealer but my local tire shop will do an alignment for $69.

That's because you're not including the time for driving your car to a 2 hour lunch (shows up on your bill as an "inspection drive").
