alignment cost and tire rotation

i just took my car in for service B and they suggested an alignment and tire rotation.

i didn't feel i needed a tire rotation considering i had replaced the tires not too long ago. but that was $59 i think

and the alignment would be $265.

is this about right costwise?

update: they also noted to me that i would be due for a brake fluid and power steering change.
brake fluid $129
power steering $169

Alignment usually cost $100.00 at any good alignment shop.
Tire rotation do they dismount and mount tires other wise is not worth it.

I agree that $150 sounds about right for an alignment and btw you don't rotate the tires on a C63...

Something fishy here........Although I once had wheels swapped on a new M3 at the dealer and they tried to deliver the car with the unidirectional tread facing the wrong way. I had to explain to them what the rotation arrows were for. This was back in 99 and it may have been an unfamiliar issue at the time.

Just checked the 2 Pzeros that I still have and there is no rotation indicator only an "outside" stamp. Perhaps they can be rotated from side to side?

They are directional so the only way to rotate side to side is to dismount the tyre from the rim and replace it in the opposite direction. Not worth it!

Actually they only have "outside" markings so you can rotate on same axle only. If they were directional like Goodyear F1 GSD3 then you get an arrow or directional marking. Therefore, you can switch one rear to the other rear side or front left to front right etc.
