They aligned my car lowered with 18" rims with no problem. They put on camber kits under warranty so I get no camber wear and my alignment was also under warranty so it was free. I forgot what they usually charge but its worth it to get it done at the dealer.

depending on how nice your service advisor is, I don't think you can get free allignments unless your car has less than 12,000 miles on it, or unless they work on your suspension that requires an allignment. I tried to convince my advisor to give me a free alignment and he said that I had too many miles to cover it under warantee. I believe NORMALLY they're about $120 for an allignment but I'm not too sure. WHen my dealer DID give me a free alignment (due to other suspensio problems) they told me it took them over 2 hours to get my car on the rack and that they had to custom make blocks so my car would roll on smoothly.

I just bought a new suspension from Renntech, and the dealership here (Florida) really did not want to touch a lowered car with 18" aftermarket wheels, even though I was fully expecting to pay for the labor =( And I only have about fifty miles on the car so far! (Just bought it from them)

Fortunately, Renntech is just a couple hours away, so I am driving it there on Tuesday to have everything done correctly. I cant wait!

I got my alignment done in Beverly Hills Mercedes Benz. I think I got it done at Keyes once too.
