Sounds like BS to me. What do they mean it will take “three alignments?” That’s like saying you need three oil changes. All they do during an alignment is loosen some adjusting bolts, tweak the adjustment, and then re-tighten them. As each of the three settings effects the other settings, it’s somewhat of an iterative process. Adjust one, adjust the other, and then adjust the first again. But this is the typical alignment process. Nothing unusual about it. If they are saying that since yours will take three iterations your charge is three times the $199, that’s bogus.
On the other hand, $199 is relatively cheap for these cars. $300-$400 is typical. $600 is a ripoff, unless you are also doing a corner balance.
There is a reason they call them “stealers.” The “service advisor” or some such person contacted you, right? Not the mechanic? Service writers or whatever they name them at this dealer are commissioned sales people. The more they sell you, the more commission they make. They are experts at telling you BS to make you think you need what they are trying to sell you.
