Cost of Front End Alignment
I was rather shocked when I was told that the cost to have the front end aligned on the SL600 with the Distronic would be around $600.00

Does this sounds right?

Also, why so EXPENSIVE?????

That is ridiculous....unless it is due to the Distronic. Normal alignment should not be more than $100.

There is a similar thread about this. Alignments with bolts should cost about $400 at dealers.
