Question Best place to get your wheels alignment and balanced? in CT?

Looking to get a full alignment and balancing done on both BMWs, dont want to lose my shirt at the dealer.

Can someone suggest a shop that is good and economical? Or have some service coupons that they will not use and can share?

Thanks a ton!

I've been quoted $180 @ the dealer. I think that's reasonable?

That's pretty good if it's an alignment and balance. Road force balance usually costs $80-100. My local shop that has the newest Hunter Hawk Eye Laser alignment rack runs about $150.

$180 is a very fair price. A place in town wanted to charge me $250.

I know these guys are far from you, but for anyone who needs a good Alignment for cheap. When I owned a Volvo i found out the Volvo dealer was using them.

Bonenfant Alignment Services - 2 Google reviews
maps.google.com - 64 Van Zant Street, Norwalk - (203) 866-7474

if I remember correctly they charge around $70 vs the dealer $150+ and they do great work.

Thanks everyone, I am in the Norwalk area oftem times so I will check them out...$70 for 4 wheel alighment sounds like a great price, my local dealer quoted me $220 and I thought that was outrageous.....also is that $70 for alignment only?
