Default 4 Wheel Alignment

Going to Tire world for the 3rd time in about a year, all due to some sort of repair. But last time i went in i remember a $60 bill, and today they're trying to beat me up for $180 4 wheel alignment.
Nothing has changed in the rear. Only did BJ's, compression rod, and UCA. Only driven the car maybe 3-4k miles in this time period. Any thoughts? Cause I'm about to walk in the shop in an hour and loose my mind.

An alignment is whatever they charge


What do you really expect us to do? They realigned your car so now you pay and move on with your day

Then tell them to do their job and pay the bill. What did you expect? Free stuff?

When ever you change suspension components you can greatly change your alignment specs. Even loosening and retightening bolts in the suspension can cause changes. After all the parts you replaced you will definitely have to pay to get everything moved back into spec. If you don't you will spend alot more in replacing tires and have poor driveability.

Good tires are expensive and are quickly ruined by poor alignment.

I align frequently.
