Default Tie-end rod replacement and alignment in Toronto

I got a quote for around $500-600 to replace tie-end rods and to have an alignment from the dealer (about $200 for tie rods and $280 for alignment). Is this reasonable?

The car is CPO but it seems like Audi extended warranty no longer covers tie-end rods.

Default when getting a quote from an indp shop make sure that

they know how to do an alignment on an audi. there are specific procedures and a special tool for doing the bump steer. the tool sets the vehicle to a secondary ride height to ensure that the bump steer is even, otherwise it could take you to the ditch or make the car unstable at high speed over dips.
