i was approaching a green light that beared right. i hit the light at about 80. what i didn't see or know was that there was loose gravel on the intersection. i lost traction and slammed into the left island after the light. it wasnt a big crash, more of a drifting-into-island sorta thing. i stopped the car afterwards and my skirts are scratched and the metal weights on my left hand rims are gone. after driving it for a while, i decided that there was no frame damage but the steering wheel has to be counterclockwised an inch or two to get into a straight line. how much does it cost to balance my wheels? can the change in steering be fixed by an alignment?

balancing should be $40ish



alignment is under $100, we get charged 99.95, but thats high, you do want a 4 wheel alignment, 2 wheel is just some guy taking your money
