Default Corner Balance Service Hours?

Does anyone know what the Porsche service hours are for corner balancing and four wheel alignment?

I have found p-car shops to be in the $350-400 range for a full track corner balance and alignment. Have not had it done at a dealer, and not sure that it is a standard dealer service item (so not all will be capable of doing a full scale balance)

too bad your not closer Ihave a nice of longacre scales we for the midget, but I can't do alignment. The corner balancing shouldn't be too exspensive as it doesn't take that long, but I've never had to pay someone to do it either!

Figure 2 hours for the balance and 2 for the alignment.

Most dealerships won't have the scales to do the cornerbalance as it's not a factory service procedure except for maybe the GT3.

Some charge up to 7 for both including ride height, it depends on the car as well as the suspension setup.

The shop I use does it in about 4 hours - this includes alignment, corner balance and ride height. You should get a print-out of your corner weights and camber settings when it's done.

A dealer will probably send it out to another shop - and charge you extra.
