Default Wheel alignment

Should I pay the OPC £150 to do it, or a decent local tyre shop £50- £75? All advice gratefully received.

If you are out of warranty, nothing wrong with using experienced locals - get some references, see how many Porsche's they've done, etc.

I'm under OPC warranty. Does that make a difference?

I'm curious about this too, when the time comes or if I lower the car. Can most any alignment shop do this on a Porsche? Or better to seek out a P specific shop?
