Fair price for balance and alignment?

Driving to work today, I noticed that my car was pulling hard to the right. Ordinarilly, I can stear with just a couple of fingers if I want, but today I had to fight it. At one point, I pulled over thinking maybe I had an extremely low tire on the passenger side, but they were all fine. I called a local wheel and tire shop I have used a few times before to make an appointment to have it looked at. They always do a great job and specialize in aftermarket wheels, so they use more care when removing and installing them than some grease monkey down at Wal-Mart. Which is important to me since I do have aftermarket wheels. Anyway, I know for sure the wheels need to be balanced. It's been a long while since I had this done, and have notice a couple of the weights are missing on a couple of the wheels. I've owned the car about a year and a half and have never had an alignment done, so it probably needs that too. Here are the prices the guy at the shop quoted me. Best case (needing only wheels balanced and checking the alignment): $65. Needing wheels balanced and a front end (2 wheel) alignment: $100. Worst case (needing wheels balanced and 4 wheel alignment): $125. Are these reasonable prices, or should I go somewhere else? I live in Kentucky, not California where everything costs more, so take that into consideration. Like I said before, I really trust their work. But I also have to please the Mrs., who thinks I need to shop around. What to you guys think?

Well I've never have a wheel balancing done on my car, but I did get an alingment done for $78 at firestone, so try using that as a reference.
