Just looking to do a quick survey amongst the rotogentsia. Where's your favorite place to get wheel alignments done, and how much did your last one cost you?

True; one man's "responsive" is another man's "twitchy."

But I do like my front tires to have some kind of general agreement as to which way the car's currently pointing. I'm funny that way.

I go to Discount tire Company. i think they charge $120 for an alignment $150 for a 3 year alignment and $180 for a lifttime alignment. i got the life time but they charged me $10 more since i had after market springs.

I hoping to maybe find a place that doesn't charge 4-wheel alignment prices for a car that only has 2-wheel alignment adjustments. The 1st-gens aren't all that complex in the suspension.
