Your problem in the states is Labor Costs and you have a good economy... over here labor has become cheap and our economy is deteriorating... i said $20 for a wheel alignment job, this is the most expensive garage for this job, i can do it for a minimum of $7... an engine rebuilt costs no more than $500....
