I just had one done at Don Darr Chevrolet in St. Louis, Mo. it was $119. Elco Chevrolet was $99.00, but they could never get me in. Both prices were for a 4 wheel alignment. So yes, I would say $180 was a little high.

You've got to be kidding!
The goodyear by me in NJ does it for $59.
I just had mine done at an independent shop with the latest hunter equipment for $65
$180 is way, way too high.
Heck, my local rip off GM dealer charges $119!
Don't worry, I got riped off when I bought my car! I'd pay $180 any day over what over paid regarding my 2002 coupe! :o

I'd say that was way high. Around here, they run less than $75.

Got mine done at a local tire store (recommended by the Corvette shop here) for about $92. My son's Boxster was about $150 at the same place.

Way too high. I paid $60 for a four-wheel alignment here in Indy at Auto Tire two weeks ago. My stealership sends all Vettes there for wheel/tire work since they have the correct equipment to take care of them.
