Alignment, How much do you guys usually pay? Options

[SwissFerdi]

I don't have the tools or skills to do this, so I called up a local shop that I always go to for anything concerning my cars, they're great people. I just got quoted 99.95 for an aligment though, when I don't even know if I really, truly need it. My car pulls slightly to the right, and my wheel is cocked a few degrees left to maintain straightness. I really only care about excess tire wear that this could cause, the fact that my wheel is crooked isn't really important.

The shop said it was this expensive because all four wheels have to be aligned.

I'll add that if you find a shop that does laser alignment the machine is more likely to be calibrated properly. The older Hunter style machines are great, but if they aren't calibrated often they can give false readings and this causes your car to be out of alignment even when the numbers look good.

Also, the laser heads are easier to install correctly on the wheels, which is key if your alignment guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
