I think I'll do the labor myself. I spent about 10 years in the automotive business, and have build race cars, boats, motorcycles, etc...
This is basically a "B-C" level job, and I have a local alignment shop (with brand new Hunter rig) to do the alignment for $70. I'm sticking with "street" alignment specs with 1" drop, so I don't expect any problems.
Total cost will be less than $300.
I would have paid the other guy $600-$650, and kept my hands clean, but now he will never get my business for anything. Its sort of strange that the place looks so dead every time I drive by, but now I know why.
Also, I find it difficult to trust anyone doing work for me. So many mechanics and tradesmen are just plain idiots. At least I know its done right if I do it myself.
