Curious to know, how much is a Wheel alignment for a New Q7?

[arjun90]

I was quoted somewhere around $1200 by Magna Society Elite Audi dealership, found that erroneously high, anyone?

At my local dealership, $140-150 for a wheel alignment

Edit: not sure if anything is different for a “new Q7,” but $140-150 for both my ‘15 S7 and ‘14 Q7. Rear-wheel steer maybe has a higher cost? But I can’t imagine it is close to $1,200...

It depends on what options you have on your car. I have night vision, ACC and lane assist on all my cars and different Audi dealers have always quoted the same around $1100 to $1200.

Ah, that makes sense, how is your Q7 putting up compared with an SQ5?

I think it's the best SUV with the power and handling and features it has. Don't know about SQ5, but I had a Q5 for 9 years and test drove other 7 seaters multiples times before getting the Q7.20191003_105132.jpeg

Just had alignment done on my '15 at the dealer here in Chicago for $225

That's good to know, when it comes to comparing the Q5 and Q7, I seem to come across many folks saying that the Q7 has more under steer than the Q5. How did you get sports seats on your Q7?

I got the luxury package with massage seats not the sports seats.

I'm just poking around in this forum as I'm thinking about moving on to a Q7 but the alignment on my SQ5 (air suspension) was $125. Regardless of packages on the Q7, anything over 200 seems absurd to me.

^ I agree, $1200 for an alignment is absolutely ridiculous.

[arjun90]

Lol, I was thinking about a Q7 in the next of years as well, but the cost of an alignment is making me have reservations about a Q7 (its just absurd). I'm not fond of any the technology gimmicks on the newer models; I don't tend to become dependent on these things, but sometimes it may be beneficial especially on longer drives. Is the automation the way for the future? Perhaps, but I want the freedom choice and ability to make my own decisions

There are Q7 trims that will still maintain that $125 alignment cost, just make sure you don't go with active road assistance, adaptive cruise control, lane departure, automated parking, etc. options

I would a barebone trim level would suffice, most of the Q7's I come across unfortunately have the Bose 3D system, for audio, I would rather prefer B&O or just the Audi branded Multimedia system

Also, coming back to Q5 vs Q7 in my honest opinion, the Q5 maintains better steering handling than the Q7, but as a family car, the Q7 is better suited in terms of comfort. The Q5 (depending on what trim you choose) really is more of sports / semi-luxury vehicle for the enthusiast, I'm thinking of going Stage 1

I agree too that $1200 is ridiculous, but they are not willing to do just the wheel alignment, they are adding the calibration for cameras also. Is it required everytime? not sure.

then get a civic. the more advanced the car the higher the upkeep. my sq7 is advanced and you cant just have bubba turn a wrench to align the wheels you have lane keep, cameras to align and so on which costs money to train the mechanics

[arjun90]

I wonder how much it would through an Indy / Motorsport shop. They can probably get a way from realigning the cameras
