Please can any one tell how much the stealers are charging for a 4 wheel alignment on my12 Rrs ab.
Been quoted £300 yes 300 is that right or are they having my trousers down ?? Seem a little ott to me what do you guys think.

At most, it should be about half that, or less, depending on what needs doing. Many (most?) dealers don't have alignment equipment but will instead drive it to the local Kwik Fit, get them to do it, and charge you double the amount...

I suggest you find your local Hunter-equipped alignment centre here instead: http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Thanks have now booked into Kwik fit welling £43. With 2 new Goodyear excellents fitted

I wouldn't let kwik fit touch a car for alignment,,as LFW says,look for a local that uses the Hunter alingment system.With the RRS it's not just a case of couple the heads onto the wheel & away you go,,it needs setting up right.

They tell me that they have hunter haweye , don't know weather they know how to use it knowing my luck I'll get a window licker .

My local tyre fitting garage couldn't seem to get the settings right and they have an expensive 4-wheel laser alignment machine. I went through 2 sets of rear tyres (bald on outside or inside edge) in 3 years.

Finally took it to Dealers (who took it to somewhere else) and it's right now. It drives so much better and the tyres are wearing evenly after 8 months & 8k miles.

It cost me around £100 IIRC, but well worth it.

Others on here have reported problems with tyre fitting garages setting the car wrongly, one even setteing the car whilst in access mode, thinking it was a service setting!! I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

Just had my 4 wheel alignment done by a local body repair shop not know for their keen prices. They wanted £90 (incl VAT). The local stealership wanted £150 so I reckon the repair shop was good value. Seems to make sense that a body repair shop would have all the right equipment if their reason for being is to straighten out bent cars.  Robin

Decided to visit TopMarks Tyres this morning in Hooley.

It was a 120 mile round trip, but I'm glad I choose them to do my alignment.

Billy took the time to show me exactly what he was doing, and it was clear they knew what they were talking about.

Top bunch of lads.

Did TopMarks put the car into tight geometry mode to do the alignment?

I did it while sitting waiting as I have my own IID tool.

Didn't ask if they had it.

Isn't that just a flashy name for Tight Tolerance Mode, just sound more Technical.

Yeah thinks so Col

Will ask them if I decide to venture up for new tyres...  Visitor from fullfatrr.com
