I knew I had to make some kind of adjustment to my budget in order to afford the repairs ($1200+) so I told them I'd be back. I happened to mention these repairs to a family member that evening and was told to get a second opinion. I called the auto dealership and they agreed that these repairs sounded odd. So after taking my car into a different repair shop, only a $350.00 alignment and once over was necessary. Oh, and my shocks and struts were just fine! My car runs better now than when TireChoice was taking care of it!
Hate to rain on your parade but $350 for an alignment? I'm not sure many exotic car owners are paying that much. Assuming it's not a German luxury car it should be less than $100; many places way less.
