I happened upon a January 1965 newspaper today.  One ad from a Good-Year 
garage advertised the following:
        Front End Alignment including
                Front End Aligned
                Camber, Caster, toe-in corrected
                 Brakes adjusted and wheel bearing repacked
                Brake fluid added if needed
  $6.95  for most US cars.  Parts extra.  Easy Pay Terms

Their "complete tune-up" including points, plugs, condenser and checking 
carburetor, timing, fuel pump, fuel bowl, belts, ignition, starter, generator, 
compression, choke, battery and distributor.  $6.66 for six Cyl. Cars...parts 
extra.  8 Cyl. Cars $8.88

Ah, the good old days:-)
