Re: Cost of wheel alignment? (raidacaipo)
I,m sorry to tell you bud but camber and toe are the ones that wear out tires, is caster the one that does not eat tires caster is one tire being infront of the other one which causes a car to pull, i'm telling you because i have benn doing wheel alignments for 12 years,and about the cost i,m gonna open my little tires and wheel alignment shop next mont and i'm gonna charge cheap for a wheel alignment.

because they are businesses and need to make money.
if you really think about it, alignments are free, they just charge you for bringing your car into the bay.
I don't trust digital alignments, as they can become uncalibrated pretty easily and that means you're not really getting the alignment that's printed on paper.
As for prices, I'm gonna guestimate in the $45-60 range if you want fronts only. a full alignment will go from 70ish to 130. Unless you're gonna race your car and already have predetermined specs in mind, tell them 1/32 toe out in front -- no more, no less. you dont need to change your camber, just have them adjust it if they're different for some reason. camber doesnt eat tires, toe does.
good luck
