pepboys quoted me $69.99 but they said they can't do it after put the car on the lift. computer tells tech to put ballast on the car (150lbs each front, 150lbs rear, and 46lbs trunk)

lowest quote from dealships is $140. ($200 from another 2 local dealerships)

is the load (specified weight for the ballast) a must? what if I get the alignment done without the ballast? if it's just some small difference, I'm not going to be picky at it.

I have no problem paying $140 to dealership to get alignment done but I doubt if they will still do the alignment without the specified weight.

will dealer perform a steering angle sensor and abs/dsc control unit reset after the alignment is done? (since the angle might be adjusted during alignment.)
