Formula used

This calculator estimates your per-visit alignment total using an adjusted base and adjusted labor, plus add-ons and fees:

pricing_factor = weighted(vehicle, service, shop, area)
adjusted_base = base_price × pricing_factor
adjusted_labor = labor_rate × labor_hours × pricing_factor
subtotal = adjusted_base + adjusted_labor + add_ons + fees
after_discount = subtotal − (subtotal × discount%)
tax = after_discount × tax%
total_per_visit = after_discount + tax

You can override realism by changing base price, labor rate, hours, and add-ons to match a quote.
