4-wheel alignment costs?

[Deleted member 12147]

Just changed the top mounts on my car, so now need to sort out the wheel alignment. I gave a local company a call to get a quote there asking £70+ VAT for a 4 wheel alignment/camber adjustment. Do you think this is a good price? Seems a bit steep to me thought it would only be about £30.

£30 would give you a toe adjustment only (local kwik fit charges £25), camber and caster adjustment is more difficult and there aren't many places who can do it. I'd expect to be £50 minimum?

£30 - £50 on the big laser machines. depending on how much setting up you like ie toe and camber costs vary.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up going to my local chemix autocentre as they were the only place that could get my car on the ramp. Cost me £48 in the end.

Were Chemix able to measure camber?

Yes.

Excellent, thanks. I'll have to give them a go. I reckon my fronts are well screwed in terms of toe and camber so it's abut time I got it sorted.

Right lads, im off to have my 4 wheel laser treatment this avo. Mines a sunny day / track car, I cant adjust the camber yet but how much toe would I need? I know I should have a little bit but any help / hinderance in your minds?

Thanks,
