My dealer charges just under $200 for an alignment. I think the mom and pop mechanic also charges $100+.

Hmm, I like your dealership.

My dealership wanted to charge me $290 for an A service, so I called another dealership and they only charged $239 (that dealership is in a less expensive area). In the end, my dealership charged me only $199.
