I have always paid around $60 for a front end alignment and about $90 for a 4-wheel alignment.

I had one shop try to charge me $125 because i have 33x12.50's. Yeah right.

Brought it to a local shop, and not a tire chain, and they charged me $30. Usually it's around $50 though.

Little note though, you can't do a 4 wheel alignment on a Blazer....Solid axle out back, tell me how a shop is going to "align" that? I got quotes from some shops awhile back and Quicklane tried to tell me I needed a4 wheel alignment because it's a 4x4. Then I asked him how they were going to align my solid rear axle and he was stumbling over his words after that saying he thought I said Explorer or something. Don't get crooked.

Yeah, a solid rear axle vehicle doesn't have an adjustment for anything in the back. Its either on or something is broke. LOL. A few shops tried telling me that I needed a 4 wheel alignment after I got done rebuilding the suspension on my Chevelle way back when. I laughed and left.
