This is a 2007 Bentley GT Speed (not mine, sadly. Just get to use it occasionally. And I'm responsible for its maintenance right now ). This is the shop's print out. I see the bad tolerances in red. But I don't have any kind of feel for how bad it is to be 0.3 degrees off a tolerance between 0.5 and 0.7. Of course I'm suspicious the test is kind of rigged to make it look like an alignment is always necessary. I know enough to look for uneven tire wear and there really isn't any. Even the shop isn't saying there's a tire problem. Can I prudently skip this and just see how the numbers look next time it goes in for service? Thanks!

Hard to fake the showing there and if mine I'd do it unless your next visit would be ready for tires anyway?

What's cheaper, the tires or the alignment? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Isn't this one of those cars that if you need to ask how much you shouldn't own one?
