    go to a dealer! They wont charge much more then the average tire shop and the dealer has the right tools to do the job.

    I was told by long distance tire in medway that they could do the job but when i went to pick up my car they told me they could only get the camber "kinda close", i was like well im "kinda not paying for the full alignment"

    I have had shops (sears, Bj's) told me that you need special tools to do alignments on Audi's but thats just b.s. a friend of my and I went to a well know local shop (they align porsche's and such) and they did the alignment without a problem. been going there for years, but i dont live there any more and dont want to drive 1 hour and 20 minutes back down just to do an alignment. this shop charges $65 for alignment but this was 2 or 3 years ago.

    you know how much the dealer charge? i went to sullivan tires and they charge $84.

    Thats because you do need special tools... where ever you went must have just done it by trial and error. I wouldnt go to any of the big chains townfair/sullivan/ntb all there technicians are huge hacks. I use to work at bernardi in natick (20 mins up 128) i forget how much it is but its a flat rate, they will have the right tools
