I just had my first alignment done at 8,500k's. Talked to Suzuki guys first..they told me to take it to JAX tyres up the road...brand new $40,000 machine. I think the dealers often don't do alignments themselves anyway.... Their specs were current and thankfully my alignment was hardly out
Can't imagine why you would have to take it to your dealer....

I wouldn't think too many Aussie Suzuki dealers would have wheel alignment machines? They'd most likely just drive it to the nearest tyre place and add on a bit to the cost for their efforts!

I took mine to a dealer. I see so few Kizashis around there that I want to take it to someplace that at least has seen a few of them.

Dealer here charges around 130 to do alignment while outside only charges 80 so I do mine outside

I think different car will have a different spec for the alignment, will the outside tire shops have all the spec for all the cars?

Is that mean, I need to show the spec to the tire shop?

Over here, most shops use computer based alignment systems and call up the vehicle details off that. I took the alignment specs in with me, but was told it matched what their computer said to do.
