Went there today. Seems like they did a good job. $89, and they have a lifetime option for $179.99.

Yeah. FYI, lifetime doesn't apply if you end up lowering the car, although I'm sure there are ways to prevent them from knowing that. It does, however, apply if you get some suspension parts replaced.

Crapazoid! That's good information to have. One of the few guys here in Springfield that has a Merc said he used the local Firestone to align his car.

I was thinking of the lifetime gig, since I plan on lowering the car soon, but until then, I desperately need an alignment.
