Default Curious what everyone is paying for an alignment?

My 2016 with 24,098 miles on the clock has never had an alignment before. It pulls to the right a tad bit.

There is a pretty good Ford dealer who has helped with warranty work down the road about five minutes. Wondering where everyone is taking their trucks for an alignment and what they pay?

I do all the maintenance and work on my truck that I'm able to. But I got the lifetime alignment from Firestone and haven't had any issues with them doing the job. I paid $170-$190(somewhere around that) for the lifetime alignment deal. I believe a single alignment there was nearly $100 and I had plans at the time to replace my struts so it made sense to me to go with the lifetime.

I'd guess it depends if you live in Cali or small town Midwest. What condition are your tires? If it's not a bad pull, I'd deal with it until tires needed replacement. If you want done asap, I'd get on Google and check local reviews. Big tire shops often have better equipment, but an alignment is not rocket science.

I can't tell you what everyone is paying but I paid around $80 I think. The Ford dealership wanted $130? $140?

I can't think of a good reason why Ford has to do an alignment, and with their crazy high price I have no reason to think of a reason they should get the job.

I was in for service one day and wanted them to add that to my work order -however based on cost I had it done another day at my favorite alignment shop, worth it to me to make a 2nd trip that was convenient.

Check air pressure in the front tires, one too low can cause it to pull.


You could have had at least 3 quotes over the phone by now, by the way.

I've been going to Firestone for years and their Lifetime alignment, it's now $200 with a $30 off coupon on their website per vehicle.
I usually go a minimum of 2 times a year, money well spent considering most places charge a minimum of $100 a visit for a single alignment.

First question one should be asking regarding the alignment is does it include the camber kits, and which camber kits are you getting. High quality camber kits cost about $100 per side not including installation.

Never needed a camber kit as of yet, but only have a leveling kit on.
