[W126 Coupe] is an alignment very expensive for a mercedes

[Steve Nervig]

Gary, the alignment for an MB needs to be done by someone familiar  
with how they are done. They are a bit different. That's not to say  
that various alignment shops can't do it, if they are aware of the  
differences. If they don't use the correct tools/techniques, it will  
not be right.

So if you don't know for sure whether a independent shop can do it  
correctly, the MB dealer is the best bet.
