Re: guestimate help....
what is it like, $80 an hr at most shops?
couple hours work can easily add up. find a friend to do it for cheaper or for brew. maybe you can ask for help from a member on here thats local?

Re: guestimate help....
I'd say that's pretty accurate. An alignment is anywhere from $75 to $100 alone. I just got done doing a lot of the same work and it isn't fun or quick.

Re: guestimate help....
agreed it's $80 for a front end alignment here for caster camber and like $30-40 for toe set.
plus the $50 or so an hour labor, it aint cheap.

Re: guestimate help....
Yea stuff adds up real quick I would guess like 400 or 500 maybe. Try and find some friends to do it or a decent shop that charges less per hour. Glad I got friends and my buddies dad owns his own shop.
