I’m afraid to take mine. What’s the stealer gonna charge you

Just had the subframe out of my convertible e30 and did a complete suspension refresh up front and an oil pan gasket. Easy jobs compared to working on E53's.
I've been coming up dry for an alignment... might have to take it to the dealer as well.
I've tried Pep Boys, NTB, and Firestone. The e30 only has front toe adjustment... ONLY. But everyone is afraid to touch it for reasonable money. Here's how the conversation at NTB went;
Me, "Can you guys do a front end alignment on that old BMW?" Manager, "Yeah, but we can't do that until my BMW/Mercedes guy comes in tomorrow." Me, "Oh yeah, it's only got front toe adjustment at the tie rods... nothing else to adjust." Manager, "Oh no, BMW's are very complex and need to wait until my guy comes in tomorrow." Me, "Oh, okay, how much does that run?" Manager, "$129." Me, "Oh, the sign says $89 for a full alignment." Manager, "Yeah, but you have a BMW. All Mercedes/BMW are $129." Me, "Okay, thanks for the info."
