I had my wheels aligned at the dealership (under warranty so I can't give you a cost) but I had to hold my wheel to the left as well to go straight down the road. Turns out there was nothing wrong with the alignment, they just forgot to center the steering wheel once they were finished. Could yours be the same problem?

Just a thought.

David is right, I would not of minded so much the money if the alignment was true and correct. I mean it drove better the day before when i had front eibach springs installed with no alignment done afterwards!! I know for a fact looking at everyone elses posts on here that there is plenty of factory adjustments available to bring the car back to alignment after being lowered so i know thats not the issue.

Did you call around to Braman, Fields, Reeves, etc to see what the other Florida shops charge? The other thing is to check what the correction or adjustment readings on your invoice say--but, as others have mentioned, you'd think they would at least do a good job. Tell them you bill $60 an hour plus mileage for a bring-back.

The invoice has not correction number on it it states "customer states perform 4 wheel alignment
maintenance
perform 4 wheel alignment as requested"
On monday im going to call around to other dealerships and call them back as a random person and ask how much they charge for a 4 wheel alignment and see if they quote me lower.

Also try the dealer in Daytona 386-274-1200. The sales manager is Matt. Maybe ask him to intro you to the service guy. They are a smaller dealership which has picked up refugee customers from the big Orlando and Jax markets. Sometimes they try a little harder. Sometimes.
