Lowered Alignment - $250??!!!!
 
So I lowered the Car, Now I'm calling around for someone to do an alignment.
So far most shops around can't do lowered cars.
And the ones that do have quoted me at 200$-$250 for an alignment.

Is this what everyone else paid? or are these guys trying to hose me?

Wow, thats insanely expensive... For me it was $150 for tire balance and alignment, and most of that cost was because my alignment was screwed, and it took them awhile. Your getting hosed for sure.

$60 USD at NTB with 6 months alignment.

03alerospl 06-27-2008 02:43 PM

So far the best I've gotten is $80 for an alignment (if I fit on his machine) PLUS like half an hour a tire for camber adjustments

I paid 100 for one when I got my tie rod end replaced it was a machine that scratched one of my wheels :(

bdyman 06-27-2008 08:09 PM

50 bucks, even with my air ride your gettin screwed

racin4JC 06-27-2008 08:20 PM

Just go to like a sears they will do anything and as long as you don't need the camber bolts a four wheel is like $80. They did my bagged Alero with 2 camber bolts which took extra time and it was like $190 that included 6 month guarantee which I used!

03alerospl 06-27-2008 09:07 PM

this is what I thought, I'm pretty pissed
so far my buddie "knows a guy" who will do it for $60, but has not gotten back to me in 3 days.
And a girl around here said she can get it done for me in exchange of my subs that I am selling for $200

I hate this town

bizarre179 06-27-2008 11:08 PM

That is INSANE! Drive out of town to get it done.

Rexter9x 06-27-2008 11:11 PM

Too bad your not any closer... but yea, either way, $250 is just insane

Mischief007 06-28-2008 12:17 AM

Are these prices from the dealer?

Cliff8928 06-28-2008 01:52 AM

How low is it? I doubt it's any lower than most stock performance cars (corvette, GTO, etc..)

03alerospl 06-28-2008 02:48 AM

I installed s/t springs and struts last sat. and as of this morning The lowest part of the underbody is 4" off the ground, when I tell the guys that, they say no way.

And I can't go out of town, as there is nothing outside of this place but fields, and garages that would def not even talk to me the second i say "lowered" they'll tell me to get back to the "city"

03alerospl 06-28-2008 02:48 AM

And I haven't even bothered to talk to a dealer

Cliff8928 06-28-2008 04:07 AM

I don't see why they have a problem with that. I just checked for comparison, I measured the lowest point (engine shield) on the '06 GTO which has a TOTALLY stock suspension and it looks just a hair under 5".

Alero_1986 06-28-2008 04:46 AM

I lowered my car a couple of weeks ago.. I got two quotes last week from shops specializing in alignments. $60 and $65

Redog 06-28-2008 10:35 AM

Yeah $250 is insane.

Probably pissed that they didn't get to lower it themselves.

Don't tell them it's lowered ;)

[ion] C2 06-28-2008 11:47 AM

so you need an alignment when getting lowering springs? i'm getting the Sprints from Alero 2 Envy

alerored04 06-28-2008 01:15 PM

Ion after you pull the struts you need an alignment. AleroSPL just dont tell them it is lowered, bring it in like it is a stock car, they will never know the difference. I just had one done last week at the GM dealer, it cost me $120 and I am lowered. I did not tell them that, just dropped it off.

Talk to the dealer. You might be surprised what they can do for you.
