So... While backing away from my work's parking lot I hit a giant plastered pillar. Specifically, can I have it aligned at pep boys or any other local Auto shop or would it be better to have it fixed at a dealership? What I've heard from family and friends is that dealers usually overprice the invoice but local shops might cut corners in aligning the car and it's cheaper. I'm not really sure the story behind this.


Thanks in advance.

 

You might want to check around. Some places will offer lifetime alignments for a slightly higher cost. I think Firestone has it for about $150 and you can get it done twice a year.
