Default Yikes......so there's nowhere to get alignment done for less than about $300??

That's crazy

There has to be other options *fingers crossed*

I'd say keep looking, 300 is a bit too much;-)

Default A regular Audi wheel alinement takes about 1.5 hours.....

At $80.00/hr, that's $120.00 plus taxes. Some dealers offer special deals on wheel alinements, so check in your area. This is of course for a standard wheel alinement as per Audi specs. If you have a lowered car with an aftermarket suspension, chances are it will be lower then the Audi sport suspension set up and it will most likely fall outside the Audi specs. That is not really a problem as long as you know, your camber will be more aggressive then the Audi specs. Just tell the guy to match every parameters on the alinement, Camber, toe and caster. It will be outside the factory specs but it will still be alined properly. Since the alinement is outside the specs it may take longer to properly aline it and thus more labor and more $$$.

Default Cool....and their reputation?

Do you use them aswell? I really want to go to someone that knows my car, and has experience working on the B5 platform.

TIA
