Default town fair tire alignment

Town fair tire. I'm curious, how long does it take to do front and back. Some dude that works there hooked me up with an alingment for 20 bucks. I watched them do it, and they had it done in 15 mins. I got the alignment sheet that came out from the computer. It does show changes, but can't they just put in the numbers them selves. Are they ripping me off or its true thats how long it can be done. I heard the rear takes a lil longer.

always though about an hour

heck it takes longer than 15 minutes to hook the car up to the alignment rack

plus you are really dropped and many folks have trouble getting the car on the rack with a smaller drop

I am in prov nd I do aignmets but bass is right it takes tyically a hour can be more if you can move bolts etc. can be less but what he probably did is just changed either the specs, adjusted the hads on the wheel to get a good reading, or adjusted the tolerance post up the printou, is it a before and after?

i'm thinking about going to direct tire, They got a 25 dollar off coupon online! and they are partnered with dent sports, so i'm guessing their reliable.
