Paul R Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 They have quoted you to align the toe at one end of the car by the sound of it!! edit: Which means it will be 50 quid for both ends!! But surely you need the camber adjusting too?? Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 A lot of them get confused because the newer tracking machines also have lasers - sounds like they are just looking to do that rather than the castor, camber etc I'd expect to pay £80 or so for the full monty.

I'd expect to pay more like 120. It usually takes at least 2 or 3 hours to do it properly. Or you can get Chris Wilson to do it for 250 quid! But you will be safe in the knowledge that he has adjusted it to within the nearest micron!! Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took 4 hours to do mine and I paid just under £80 - that's northern prices though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Let me know how it goes Lee as mine is in need of the full monty i think!! front tyres are running on metal cords on the inner edges We only have alignment gauges in work that are probably older than me, so would like to take it somewhere that knows what they are doing! I hate having to take my car somewhere and pay to get something done i could do myself with the equipment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
