Rang a local hunter wheel alignment place
£30 for the front and £18 per adjustments at the rear

Not sure how many adjustments my rear could offer up so not sure what the maximum might be


Does yours set prices on adjustments or a flat fee?

I think I paid about £130 for front toe, camber and caster; and rear toe and camber.

These days I do it myself with bits of string. smile

tha's a good price, but decided to take to an independant rather than a chain hoping for more attention and care

£71.88 at Carmaster, they also gave me a carwash token and a box of jelly babies so well worth it.

£108 for full four wheel alignment at AMD Motorsports and turn all the markers green. £30 at Formula 1 Autocentres for an Aygo - limited adjustments possible. Taken my BMW to local centres but they charge for "each adjustment" which is a way of ramping up the costs for more complex cars!

BMW charge £100+ for Hunter Alignment. Half the time they farm it out. Most Kwik-Fit Branches have Hunter machines with displays in the waiting room so you can see the before/during/after results.

its usually to allow them time to mess around with seized bits... id get them to work out a fixed fee that you can live with and give them a sense of whether the underside is covered in rust.. based on your prices youll be done for under 100 and if they know how to use the equipment and have familiarity with your type of car then not bad deal

its mainly down to the operator with these thing ive found
