nixy Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Has anyone had the 4 wheel laser alignment done and how much did it cost? My guess from googling is approx £80? Is this worth doing and how does it differ from whatever they normally do when you take it to have the tracking checked? Quote
Stew Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Shouldn't cost that much! Reminds me, I need mine done again.... Quote
ab350z Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Who does yours Stew? Local to us? I'm guessing Laws..........? Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I got mine done at a local place (Wingerworth Tyres for anyone in the area), can't remember how much it cost but it was less than £20 if I recall. Quote
Stew Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I think mine is £25 with a three month warranty and you can have it re checked and re done in that time. Quote
nixy Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 I know some places will actually do the check for free but I think the cost varies depending on the adjustments. The place I phoned said they would check it for free and then quote me on adjustments. I had no idea so I just did a google search on laser alignment and that's where I got those prices from. Hope you're right! Quote
ab350z Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah I've jsut called a local place (Law's) and they said they'll check it for free, front and rear alignment is £39 + vat and its about 30 mins drive in service. Quote
nixy Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 interesting - I'll wait and see what I get quoted then. I phoned north eastern tyres and exhausts in York - their website claims to have really top spec equipment - probably means top spec price too! Quote

I normally get good rates there. Thanks Dad for being mates with the owner! I bet when I get it done I'm £40 squid...... They'll at least knock of the VAT.... Quote
Jacko Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 £30 all around with the Supertracker system..... From DP Tyres in Wigan. Darren there is a top bloke! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I paid £25 to get mine done Was that at Westyre on the Western Ind estate? Quote
Ian Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I paid £25 to get mine done Was that at Westyre on the Western Ind estate? Yup, was back last year though Quote
bronzee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Any update Nixy?? 4 wheel, 8 point laser alignment for any car I drive. Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 how cool is this? I'm in there now using their internet while I get it done! It was way out on one side of the car front and back and slightly out at the other side - I'll get a print out after. £40 so not bad really - and the coffee's good! Amazing how suddenly 8 blokes all need to be in the reception at once when a woman with a zed turns up! Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I can see a pattern developing here Nic, where is it tomorrow Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 I'll have to have a think about that one! Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Always nice to plug good service, where are you. Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 back in my office now. I had it done at North Eastern Tyres and Exhausts and I have to say they seemed to really know their stuff. Not to mention the important things like free coffee machine, plasma tv and internet access from comfy chairs! Probably could have got it about a tenner cheaper elsewhere but I'm happy i've got a spot on job. Looking at the printout it seems that one of the fronts and the diagonally opposite rear were the major culprits! http://www.nete.co.uk/ Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 So now it will make it to Wrexham and back Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 er..................wrexham? Now you know I don't like in car solitude Martin! Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 er..................wrexham? Now you know I don't like in car solitude Martin! Surely you wouldnt say no to a wedding shoot. You can borrow Liz Quote
nixy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 now you know I never say I'll do something unless I definitely will - but never say never! Quote
