I decided not to pay $1,000 for a front-end alignment.
Why was it $1,000?
They told me I required lower control arms with ball joints + repack wheel bearings for a Ford Ranger 99 (or else the front-end alignment would be pointless).
Deal or no deal?
On a side note, all computer repair shops are also rip offs.
Where do you live, and what's their labor charge?

They're not wrong about the alignment being pointless if you don't take of those parts first.
Idk about $1000. But I do know replacing lower control arms and ball joints can be a real pain in the ass.
$379.98 for lower control arms with joints x2. $320.00 for Installation. $200.00 for repack wheel bearings.
Total was closer to $933.23.
IDK about the wheel bearing repack, but, depending on where you live, that seems reasonable. ---
