S55/S600 alignment cost?
Hi all,
My steering pulls slightly to right and my MB advisor says "Alignment on one of these is about $299-$499 depending on if it needs adjusting bolts or not." I realize it's sports package S600, but that sounds outrageous for alignment. When I did my S55 last year, I think it was only $150, plus another $50-100 for bolts.
Do you guys trust indy shop for this? Last time I did it 2x on indy, they didn't do something right and the cost was premature wear on inside of front tires - that's even more expensive than alignment.
What do you think - shall I try another MB dealer, or try to find an indy that KNOWS about the inside wear issues?
Thx.

2004 S55 (SOLD, miss it every day), 2009 GL550
a year ago I paid 189 out the door at a dealer for an alignment on my S55 (the indie I had been using doesn't do alignments, i've since moved on to another)
your dealer is trying to drastically overcharge you. time to find a new place for service. make sure you tell them why you will never be back.

Cracks me up when you can do it yourself . . .
Worst case is you'll have to take it in.
You send a quad in for alignment ?
They are just as easy to do .
Give it a try before payin'.
Adjust one side only.
Then test drive it.
