Frequently asked questions

Is Alignment cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. Where you are in Montpelier can change the detail, so compare nearby quotes.
How many quotes should I get for alignment?
