it takes about 2 hours to do an alignment on this car. you start with setting the rear ride height. this is what slips up most of the shops. whatever the shop hourly rate is, assuming they have the tools, you can count on that hourly rate for 2 hours.

be sure to do the alignment with the car loaded as it is normally driven, about 1/2 tank of gas, and your weight in the driver seat.
Good to know!

Thanks for the insight.
