Wheel alignment 997

What is a average price to pay for a wheel alignment on a 997S. It is lowered with H&R springs if that makes a diifference. Thanks

as low as 70 bucks at any shop with the proper machine, up to 250-300 at a higher end shop or the dealership.

thx guys, dealer just did mine charged $220.00 here in tampa. I am pissed because they just didnt without telling me before doing it. I hit a curb and popped the front tire. I told them to replace the tire but didn't mention anything about alignment. I am sure it needed it because there was a lot of damage. ripped up my techart front spoiler and side skirts broke a radiator on the drivers side as well. Dealer says I have to replace the front bumper skin becasue it broke some of the underbody clamps that hold the bumper skin. I am taking the car to a bodyshop for that repair. I have a couple of small dents in the bumper skin, I hope the bodyshop can heat it up and reform the plastic bumper skin.

Anyone with knowledge please let me know?

thx

If you actually ripped the mounting loops on it (plastic holes) then they might have a really hard time working with it without 'rigging' it up. I did the same thing. They said they 'thought' they could fix that one, and I said 'thought'? Nah. So I am taking them my Cargraphic bumper (everyone has a spare, right?) today, and also had a GT3 OEM bumper delivered to them yesterday. So now I have the option of which to use again. Spares rock. We only have a one car garage and my wife is beginning to hate me. 12 wheels and tires, 4 seats, two complete suspensions (down to the sway bars and all that), two rear wings... all for the 911. Then, I have two engines for my 240Z, two suspensions, an extra interior (including an extra dash), an extra set of tires and wheels for my truck (35" mudders), and all the jack stands, towing equipment, air tools, and all the other testosterone junk that will somehow fit into a single car garage. I really got off track there. It's early. More coffee please, ma'am.

Golfman, long time no see. Remember we met at Reeves a while ago? By far the best place in and around Tampa is Gene Perez Auto Body. I had my wifes 7 series bmw gouge in the door from a piece of wood on the highway fixed and my wife ran out mew BMW X3 into the side of the garage scraping and gouging up the front. Perez fixed these cars to look like new with zero evidence of any past issues. The mostly only do higher end cars and are perfectionists.
I have a very good fried that is head of a local Ford collison center and he recomened Gene Perez to me.
