How much should a front end alignment cost?

Favorite Answer

I work for Sears automotive. I do alignments all day long. We charge 65$ for a 4 wheel alignment with a free suspension check. The only proper way to do an alignment is a 4 wheel kind. Toe out is rare if you havent been in any accidents with the car. It also happens from careless install of new parts. The 4 wheel alignment makes sure the car travels down the road as it should. 2 wheel alignments dont take into account the direction of the rear axle offset and can result in the car going somewhat sideways down the road. Called dogtracking. Avoid the dealership at all costs as they dont perform alignments very well. Ask to see a printout of your car's before and after specs so that you dont get ripped off. A competent shop will have complete specs for you. You can also watch the tech at Sears do the alignment as long as you dont mind wearing safety glasses. It only takes about 1 hour for most cars. A bit longer for some dodges (intrepids and the like) cause they are poorly designed up front....Show more

It really depends on the type of vehicle, 2 wheel or 4 wheel alignment (front , rear, or both)...but from $49 to $89 is a good ball park. Most shops will include the alignment with the tires or give a discount for the alignment when you buy the tires. Hope this helps...good luck...Show more
