Wheel balance and alignment for GLC 300

I have 2022 GLC 300 2022 model almost 20k miles on her. I see front tires are wearing 50% more than rear and, see front passenger tires outer line getting worst.

I wonder if I can so wheel alignment and balance from regular service centers like firestone, or tire plus etc. because MB dealer is charging $250 for alignment and $100 for balance.

I don't think these prices are reasonable. But MB service advisor said don’t go anywhere else, BenZ is made different so coms to us only.

is it true? Any recommendations? I feel wheel related maintenance is basic and doesn’t need special treatment with dealerships.
