Question Reasonable price for alignment and corner balance?

What's a reasonable price for corner balance and alignment? I just had to pay $477 for the alignment and $357 for the corner balance at the dealership, which seems pretty darn high.

Also, paid $238 for a brake flush of which only $28 was the part. So they charge 1.5H for the job, which seems excessive as well.

Prices you paid are normal for the dealer. Believe it or not Porsches are not very expensive to maintain vs other more exotics, and not that much more expensive than BMW or Mercedes...

I paid $200 for corner balance and alignment at an independent race shop. I flushed the brakes myself for the cost of two bottles of motul.
