Thats where I have been going as well....Good people.....Is that the price they quoted you for both front and rear?

I'd check around on the alignment and see what others are paying...

TriGem2k says $150 out in California......I wouldn't think there would be that big of a difference between the 2 states, if anything Cali might be more expensive...

Don't know much about the airbag tho.....Maybe they need to be reinspected every so often to see if they are still working?

Whats anyone else paying for an alignment?

I paid $79.95 at a nearby Firestone shop. Lifetime alignment, Hunter equipment (same as my Porsche dealer) and they love when I bring in the car. I have the dealer I bought the car from do complex stuff or what I feel needs Porsche expertise. But this Firestone group shows me the "before and after" on the alignment and download the specs to ensure proper results. So far they have been fine.

Yes, that is the price for front and rear...

I've never paid more than $100 for an alignment so this was quite a shock.

Whatever you do, its not worth it for more than $150 and even that is a bit much but what else do u expect from a dealer...
