Rochester, MN is only about 120,000 - not a "small" town - but not a major metropolis either.

At the local Cadillac dealership, the alignment of my ATS when I purchased new tires was $80.00.

You might wonder why did I get my tires at the Cadillac dealership? Aren't dealerships more expensive?

Not always. They price matched the best deal I could get and had a $200.00 rebate if I used my GM credit card (only $100 without the card). Seeing as how I get 5% rewards towards a new GM product - that amounted to about another $45.00 off for a total of $245.00 off the best deal...
