Default Who does the best alignment for the buck?

Installing new shocks this weekend and (on a 993) that requires a 4-wheel alignment. RPM is the only shop I really trust and they're close to my house. But they charge $274 for an alignment. I got one in October, need one next week and probably will do a clutch job in a few more months, which will also require an alignment (993's require rear suspension to come apart when taking the engine out).

Where between Reston and Alexandria can I trust with my car and knock close to $100 off that price? Possible? I will never go to IMA, Dulles (since Dave Ocell is gone) or Interpsort, so they're all out. Who's left and what do they charge?

That seems to be a pretty reasonable price, Rick. I think the only way you'll beat that and have it done right is DIY.

DIY alignments scare me. My tires are insanely expensive. They came on the wheels, so not my choice. But I really want to get more than 7k miles out of my rears, so a DIY alignment may not be a cheap alternative. Just called ASG - same price as RPM and not as close to my house.
