Anyone know approx what a dealer will charge for a 4 wheel alignment? Can I assume the dealer is the only place likely to have the equipment and specs to do this?

Any good shop should have a quality alignment machine. Depending on adjustments, 65-200. 200 would have to be camber all 4 wheels and toe-in all 4 wheels.

Mine is going to be 70 bucks after my Pedders install at the local (to the Pedders shop) Firestone. Not sure if that's a special rate or not.

Neither do I! It's a bit over 2 hours away... :hang:

Not sure Charlie. They just told me that they were going to have it aligned per Pedders specs. I hope they do it right.

It's just struts, springs and a couple of steering parts and bush's.

Basically everything they say that needs to be done to make the G8 what if should be.

I'm gonna be needed the same thing. Last time the dealer completely F-ed up the alignment, actually making it worse. They didn't even do it there. They took it to the VW dealer down the block to get it done. Guess I'm goin to Mavis.

As a Pedders Dealer, we charge 2 hours of labor for a complete 4 wheel alignment. We also offer discounts if parts are purchased though us.

That's cool! My dealer charged me straight list! :hang:

He has me by the balls though. No other one close to me.

He WAS great to deal with though.

for a complete 4 wheel alignment i paid $69 at the dealer
And the best part is, it was done the way I wanted to the specifications I wanted
