After having 2 tyres blow out at once in a pothole Id thought I would get the tracking checked. Local Dealer wnats in excess of £300 just to check

Stated it takes over 3 hours and uses lasers.

Are we really using technology of that expense for a mechanical check on a vehicle designed for off road?

Is there a reasonable alternative check that wont invalidate warranty? Now - MY11 RRS Autobiography TDV6, Orkney gray, tints, steps, daylight running lamps and allllll the toys!!!
Ex- RRS HSE TDV6 07 Java Black, bi xenon, corner lights, side steps, tints, cool box, smoke side repeats, chrome "sport" boot sill
Ex - Audi A4 Cab 3.0TDi Quattro
Ex - Freelander2 SE TD4
Ex - CRV Auto

I would have thought any tyre shop that does four wheel alignment would be ok.

i have used these guys and can highly recommend them..
think i paid around £45 for check and then up to 2 hours labour dependant on the amount of work up to a max of £200.
Both checks i have had have been under £80 and makes a noticeable difference.
you get a print out of before and after so you can see what has happened.
