Default a les schwab alignment

Anybody ever get one from there? They will do a four wheel drive for 79.99. The dealer wants 150 - to begin with.

Les Schwab wouldn't align my car. They got it up on the rack then called me an hour later and said I'd have to pick it up.

Are you lowered? I'm not a fan of LS, myself, but that's because I have had many small things go wrong while in. Seemed like it was caused by their need for speed.

Yeah I'm on stasis coilovers but they said they wouldn't do it because their machine couldn't do audis.

if a shop that has the tools to do an alignment but not on an audi, it means avoid that shop at all costs.

They must be using some outdated machines or something. At my job the only alignments we turn down are mercs cause you gotta drop the subframe and only the dealer got time for that pita, or slammed ricemobiles with ridiculous negative camber. VW/audis are notorious with frozen tie rod nuts, especially the b5. Apart from the frozen nut problem hehe, the b5 is easy to align...$79 sounds about right, it's $65 at my job.
