I'm not entirely sure. On my invoice is FT & Rear Toe adjustment £70 and 4 wheel alignment £95. Plus vat. £195 total. isn't toe adjustment part of aligning the wheels. It seems an awful lot to me. Not a main dealer either. TIA

Seems odd to see them listed separately, but perhaps one figure is for the initial measurement and the other is for the adjustments needed to bring it into spec?

It's either a mistake, or they're taking the piss.

I have had similar quotes from several places before, they normally go something like:

£XX for an alignment check & £xx/corner for adjustments.

Whereas equally as many have said all in at £xx.

They are the ones I use.
