Default Wheel Alignment Shop

Honda dealership says 80 bucks for a wheel alignment. Sears Auto Center and meineke say 65 bucks. Where would you guys take it? Is it worth it to save $15 bucks?

Most Honda dealers are not specialized in wheel alignment(ditto for Sears)
Get to a specialized Perf.alignment shop,and Have ie aligned to U.K.geo.specs.
between $55.00 and $75.00.

It comes down to the tech doing the work and machine they are doing the work on. See if you talk to both tech's and determine whom will do a better job.

Go to your local Vietnamese or Mexican shop. They're usually around $40. Also try looking on craigslist.com for SERVICES I believe

You're right, many shops have their incompetent morons.. but sometimes high end shops are no exception. They just overcharge cause well, people think they're getting better service when it's just the same. What I would do is as they're doing your alignment, just watch tehm do it so they don't half ass it.
