alignment not included. Ive got a lifetime alignment at Firestone. I paid $65 the last time I got tires mounted and balanced and that included getting rid of the old tires too. ---

The only places that are going to go near that price are crappy chain stores. Automotive service is one area where you really get what you pay for. If you want it done cheap take it to some hack place and have it done. ---

Not my car but buffed my fathers Camaro. This is the first time it’s been done since it was restored 26 years ago. Don’t mind my finger in the picture. We are in talks if stripping the car soon and respraying it.
