$100 in Canada at GM, but I had to go three times and then they wanted to charge me another $200. But since they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, I just kept complaining until it was right. ******!

I got one at Sears for I think $65. They have a 6month guarentee too so you can go back for 6 months and get it tweaked

If you were in memphis i could do it for the free!!!, but most places charge around $70........Firestone has a lifetime policy for like $139.99 (119.99 when they have a "special")
That way you get the car aligned as many times as you want.

I paid $82 at tire Kingdom, then i drive 6 miles to another tire kingdom to get it checked because 'its never had an alignment', they come out and say my alignment is WAAYY out of whack. They did it again. It still didn't feel right. I went to another tire kingdom and explained to them, they gave me some BS about how all cars lead to the right (I guess except for every other car i drive) I said screw this bullshit I want my money back. They gave me a refund.
So Don't go to tire kingdom their techs are retards.

We just paid $100 for the BMR LS1-powered 1st-Gen Camaro.

We had to align the wheels after we installed a new prototype suspension....the only one of its kind for a 1st Gen. We will be testing it next month during Power Tour and launching this product in July. Stay tuned!

wow, i didn't know how good a deal i got on mine until reading this thread.....local shop here only charged me $40 (plus tax) for a front end alignment. they're probably the best, most reputable shop in this town, too...i'm very satisfied with their work.

the guy's wife drives a GTO, too
