Just got the 15K service done on my car at Acura 101 - they quoted me a price of $150, but when I got there, they wanted another $80 for an alignment - don't know why they didn't mention that in the quote.....
anyway, did any of you have this done at 15K - my car pulls to the left *slightly*, but it's always done that.
Is that a good price for an alignment, or, maybe I should just ask, is this the usual amount of dealer-service markup, or are they tryin' ta get me to grab my ankles on this one?

 

I generally hear $50.00 for an alignment. Why would they do something without telling you? I'd complain about it to customer service..

 

$80.00 at my dealership in Northern California ! Mine was NOT needed......but what do I know ! I just know that my car drove perfectly straight and super even wear on my oem pigs before I left it with them. I felt it was a rip off. If yours was pulling in any direction, then it needs attention. Rarely do Honda's/Acura's need alignment, unless your modding the hell out of it.

 

Tire rotate 15$ + tranny fluid chane 40$ + oil change 25

total 80$

if use mobil 1, total is 100$

 

I declined the alignment because I wanted a chance to check prices....now I have to decide if it's worth finding another place in my are that will do it cheaper....have to bring the car back for some parts ordered under warranty.

Oh, and the guy in the service department told me that they reccommend an alignment every 7,500 miles....yeah, for $80 a pop, I'll bet they do!

 

Please tell the guy in the service department I think he is an ass!
No, make that I know he's an ass!!

 

u do not need to pay them as they did not mention at the very first beginning and u do not need the wheel alignment at 15k miles service as i have never heard my acura dealer told me to.nor i have not heard any cls owners need to do that.
