A little late of a reply here, but better late than never?

I took the '96 E300 to Werner's for alignment after rebuilding the rear end. It's a long established business with a good reputation. While waiting I spoke with two other Werner's customers who love the place and have all their maintenance and repairs done there. If I wasn't the kind to be wrenching on my own rigs I'd probably use them myself.

As for the E300's alignment, they ended up only taking a measurement. The rear springs sagged and rear camber was beyond spec. They also wanted to install two adjustable bolt kits in the front end. Total quote was just over $800 to replace the parts and do the alignment.

I declined having them do the work, and ended up replacing the springs and doing the alignment myself, which is a whole 'nuther story. I got the impression from my small experience over there that they are a good shop.

One thing they told me, though, was that they won't install parts they don't sell. So if anyone decides to use them be prepared to pay their prices for parts.
