Thank You very much for the information. It's very useful. I'll post what I learned:

I called Monmouth yesterday and got the same price quote you got for 10K mile Service.
Monmouth $470
Ray Catena $275.
Princeton $300.

Tire Swap
Ray Catena $150
Monmouth $200
Town $344

Alignment
Ray Catena $200
Monmouth $250
Town $344

Labor rates:
Monmouth $135
Town $172

Town seems High? They Pick and Drop which might itself be worth the money and I have had no problems. But the price is very high.

Based on my email and phone interactions Monmouth seems reasonable. Ray Catena is very suspiciously low.

PaulMiller, Jack Daniels, and SouthShore have not gotten back to me.

Hope this helps.
Due to Tire Storage selecting one place becomes essential.

Thank you all for contributing.

That is how they lost my business.
I thought I would give them a second chance since they were closer, and called them when the PCM in my 911 would not boot when I started. It would have been a 5 min job for them to take a look at (possibly even more) but the immediate response was that their next available appointment was one month later. When I called them for winter wheel swap for my Macan, they said the same. I took my Macan to the Mini show room near by and they swapped it readily. That is how they lost my business permanently.

Business must be so good for these guys that they don't have to waste time trying.

Service on the other hand has ALWAYS been good in Princeton. The team from a few years back were outstanding and the dealership has changed hands more times than I can remember recently (I think its now same as Manhattan) - but I recently had PSE installed and they were excellent, knowledgeable and rea$onable to deal with. I plan to go back for service.

I had my 1year/10,000 Mile Service performed on my previous car at Princeton and it was $300 with the discount.
