Fairly reasonable for retail. Most shops charge $20 per for mount/balance and upwards of $100 for alignment.
I just had the same work done 2 days ago and have family in the business and I paid $135. 4 tires done and 4 wheel alignment.

Got the wifes new to us Navigator spotless inside. Broke out the steamer to make sure everything was sanitized and did an ozone treatment as well. A quick wash/wax to make it shine for a few hours before the rain hit.
The kids love it. They have a console in the 2nd row. Its black so its fancy, like a limo they said.

I rode some new trails today, a couple were black diamond.
It's good that I was decending on the black diamond trails because I'm not confident I could do the ascent.
I scraped my running boards a couple of times but it did well besides that.
A couple of people seemed surprised to see me, but clearance and grippy tires are most important.
My transmission has always made an "electric whining" noise when I start up and put it in reverse or at low speed in drive.
When I got the truck I checked the fluid level and the previous owner (whom I know reasonably well) said it always makes that noise, but he isn't a very mechanical guy.
I did some research and think it may need a new transmission fluid filter.
Any thoughts?
I've only owned one other automatic transmission.

Did the annual spring flushing of the rocker panels and full rinse of the undercarriage (laying on the ground looking up) to chase all the winter salt away. First I pulled the plugs out of all the rocker panel holes, then I stick a hose in all 3 large openings (each side) and run the hose on full. In the fall this all gets oiled up (Krown) and replugged for winter salt season.
Last summer I drove out to the Rockies and all over (Jasper to Denver) AFTER doing Krown so I have a lot of embedded dirt in the Krown oil on everything. Not sure I like this. I'm rinsing all those minerals off. I think it's better to let the Krown set up before giving it the dirt road exposure?

Looks good. Now there's 2 vehicles out there with the F150 fog pocket kit on an Expedition.

Gotta keep them f150 boys in line
I definitely won't be able to use them in town. But that's totally fine with me.
Next upgrade is led headlights or maybe new housings

They require you to reuse the spring perch from the stock struts. It's a PITA design.

*shrugs* A lot of us have the 4600s in the rear, so it's definitely possible. My regular shop had a hell of a time with it though. He had to bring it to a buddy's shop to use his tools and told me he would never put those on an Expedition again due to the work involved.

Oh well. I love this vehicle

Well... 2004 SSV 4x4...
Rear brakes, front moog control arms, AC venting, door/hatch locks and switches, radio power, ...
Next: tuner, shorty headers
EDIT had to delete the wheels and tires. we're on day 5 past due, the answer's the same every day: they're scheduled to arrive... whatever. I cancelled.
and I forgot, next task is to connect the 3rd row power seats I added before Christmas to power so the switches (that also have to be installed) will work to raise and lower the seats.
also skid plates.
