They want to charge an extra $130 to shift the subframe to adjust the rear toe. Is this something I should get done?

There is a bolt that controls rear toe...
They should be able to adjust toe by turning the bolt just outboard of the lower shock bolt.
If the subframe needs any repositioning, the first question I would consider is how did it shift in the first place? Accident? Was it ever moved/removed during the course of any repair?

Only if they failed to see driveshaft, rear diff, rear axles,....
rear control arms, etc...the shifting subframe is only on the front-track version. Tell em to get bent. Damn I thought my dealership was bad, we charge about 130 for a full alignment.
