They charged me $98 and said they tried but the alignment "Wouldn't hold". Car still pulled to the right as bad as ever. I went down the street and had Merchants align it, they got it to sail straight and true down the center of the road.

Additionally, McGeorge told me my rear brake hoses were badly cracked. I crawled under and they hadn't even wiped off the ten year of road dirt on them. You couldn't see rubber, let alone tell if it was cracked.
HBL Mercedes in Tysons Corner VA charges about $99, and the other is American service center Mercedes in Arlington VA charges $94.95, will be taking my car there, they have a good rep.
