Do I need an alignment with new shocks?
I don't know much about suspension. Getting new front shocks put on at a local tire place since my regular mechanic is backed up 2 weeks.
My X is aligned now, but they want to charge me for an alignment after they put new front shocks on.
Is it really needed just because they are bolting on 2 new shocks?
I overheard the guy tell the women in front of me that she should get an alignment every other month... I almost started laughing out loud, but didn't want to **** him off while he has my vehicle.
Thanks.

If I heard them tell that to someone first they would not be touching my truck and then I would have stopped her outside to tell her to find another shop as this one is ripping you off.

No you don't need an alignment because you replaced the shocks on the Ex. If you had a car and were replacing struts where they are adjustable and part of the alignment, maybe, but probably not. The service writer is trying to take your money.
