Meh, circa £350 when I had mine done on a Beissbarth
Nothing cool about being ripped off. Is that from that strange chap in Warwickshire ?WinstonWolf said:

Nothing cool about being ripped off. Is that from that strange chap in Warwickshire ?Many cars have few adjustable components. Some cars are fully adjustable.
And of course - as you as you tighten or loosen one bolt - it affects all the others.
If you want the exact readings - it takes time to get everything bang on.
For most folks on PH - the £49 option is all that the car needs.
If your car is "proper" - you will likely find spending the extra worth it.

Don't know about anyone else, but I am happy with trusting Porsche with the alignment specs, not some self proclaimed "expert."
But WW's car seems to be a TreVoR. And even proper manufacturers get it wrong (ISTR that WiM fixed some Lexus IS200 geo issue by varying significantly from Lexus' spec.)Edited by Sump on Saturday 20th September 17:32

You'd spend more on components, why not on services?

I took my Merc there a couple fo years ago after recommendations on the MB forums to cure the W203 C Class issue of rolling on left lock. Didn't make myself known when I arrived so I don't think I got any special pricing. Car was actually not far out and only needed a couple of minor adjustments.
Cost was £50.
I wouldn't ever expect a full alignment done for under £50, it's a fair amount of work. Some will consider alignment as just toe but on my car you have camber to adjust on all four wheels, as well as toe in and on the front, adjustable caster too. That all takes time to get settled into the right place, especially given many cars are beaten back with rusty bolts and seized parts. Proper alignment on a proper car takes time to get right if you want it at its best.

£60 all in, local kwik fit (closest hunter machine to me) actually did it correctly aswell.
Euromaster in Rochdale did mine, front and rear. Chap showed me what he was doing and he clearly knew what he was up to (I had replaced every single suspension part and arm, front and rear) - car drove like new afterwards. Dog Star said:

Got mine done last year and had to watch the operator like a hawk. First mistake he made was selecting a LHD rather than RHD version of my car from the database.Doesn't matter how nice and green your printout at the end is if the wrong reference settings have been used.
