alignment shop questions

Are you guys going to the dealer or tire wheel shop for front end alignments? With 14K miles I noticed the front insides seem to be wearing. This is an alignment issue I assume. Just put new rears on and they worn fine. So I m traveling in Bergen County NJ and called the local P dealer who said they send the car out for alignments. Not something I want to do.

Shop suggestions or alignment suggestions wanted...
Do I need a 4 wheel alignment?
What will the dealer cost for this be?

I usually do alignments outside 4 wheel alignment is a must for our cars. Remember toe and camber on the back can be set and usually its the rears that get aligned first. Front alignment is affected by rear alignment. Everything should be properly set. My take is the shops who specualize in alignment get the proper training doing these things

alignment done at the P dealer... 4 wheel alignment done right at the shop. Front were off, backs not so bad.
Great dealer, took pics of car all around before it went in.( for damage purposes ).
PS/ they had a few nice used cars there... a few turbos, a clean 06(maybe) CS, under $50K.
