Rivian alignment only done through Rivian?

How'd you get $290.50 at the Denver service center?

They charged by $292.50 for an alignment on June 23rd. I feel I got ripped off for $2. (/s).

I had hoped to do it when I got new tires, but the Discount Tire in Denver on Colfax said they can't do Rivian's yet.

Rivian is the best option if they solve the issue, but they only align to factory specs. If the problem persists, an experienced alignment shop that adjusts based on results, not just numbers, is a better bet. Most major cities have one. There's no black magic to Rivian alignment—mine and many customer cases required no calibration, and plenty here have had success with independent pros.

Just had mine done yesterday at my local tire place when I got new Goodyear AT's to replace the Pirelli's (a very good upgrade BTW).

$120 for the alignment, but they had some trouble with it. Took them quite a while, but in the end seems much better than when I brought it in. That said, it was their first Rivian alignment. They have been around forever and I trust their work (decades of using them). Will put 2K miles on next week on a trip, so we'll see!

Why do you do alignment? Is it out of alignment? Pulls to one direction or uneven tire wear?

I've never had alignment done, when replacing tires if the vehicle is not out of alignment before the new tires (assuming that one is not changing wheel offset or size).
