Parktown Porsche (STL) is saying leave the car for three days! I thought this was a 4-6 hour job? Are there any independent shops in STL or KC that can do this job, along with the alignment?

TIA!

Give the guys at Reid Vann a call. They're just along the road on Manchester, and I got my car back on Friday from an alignment. It's like driving a new car. Also, they cost about half as much as Plaza or Parktown.

Go Cards.

Thanks for the reminder...they did some suspension work on my C4 many years ago; I will try them.

Went with Parktown afterall...

...the car was in the dealership for some warranty work anyway (on the air conditioning digital read out), and the service manager estimated the X-74 install at 8-9 hours, including the four wheel alignment, which I know from past experience with my 2000 C4 is a 2-3 hour job. Not thrilled with 8-9 hours at $120 an hour, but I want the job done right, and I least I get a Cayenne loaner for the two days. Looking forward to picking the car back up tomorrow! Will post X74 reviews soon. Thanks everybody, especially to Gert for emailing alignment specs to the dealer!
