Friend of mine has been quoted for wheel alignment on his 05 Mondeo ST;
£60 for just the front wheels or -
£185 for all four!!! which ofcourse the garage has recomended!!!

is this right?

 

Simply put, No.

Even a decent hunter setup should only cost you £70/80 MAX for all 4 wheels

 

i got my p100 pick up done just the front everything brand new , cost £85 and it took them 2 and a half hours lol

drives straight now so i am happy with that

 

Where the hell are you guys taking your cars?

 

2 hours and £85 to do the alignment on a P100?

 

thats expensive just had my fiesta st done all four wheels £55.

 

yep tell me about it must be super hard turning a couple of new non rusty nuts lol

 

i took the pick up to a garage that dose alot of track prep for evos , thinks its the first ford they had ever done lol

 

Thanks for your replys I'll let him know, thought it was a bit steep.

 

kwik fit dont charge that much

 

One of the lads in kwikfit did mine for a pint

 

Eh? I give £25 for front wheel alignment on my Focus and thats using Hunter Hawk Eye? Basically was laser tracked.

Was given some Halfords Autocentre (near Sevenkings) vouchers so took the old mans '71 Mercedes 280se in for tracking... They rung me up a short while later and told me they couldn't do it as they didnt have the right weight. Basically they said you need to fill the tank up and basically get four people in the car - thats the weight they didn't have as supposedly the tracking is different when you're fully loaded.

Actually what they didn't have was the correct toe in/out figures as she is too old for their system, so instead of telling me that they came out with some bull shit story which made them look like a right bunch of dickheads (they didn't think I knew what was needed for it to be done).

 

Even using the Halfords Autocentre website its saying £29.00 for alignment for a 2005 Mondeo ST

 

Exactly. The kwik fit lads are on crap money and love a drink job. ask one about a cash price and he might tell you to come back on another day when theres less eyes around.

 

£40 round me way for 4 wheel laser set up

 

Done for a re negotiated £75
Thanks again.

 

I paid £20 for the front of my Cortina to be done at National tyres one Saturday afternoon. (It went in the lads tea kitty)

 

still overcharged

 

You still got ripped of as there's nothing to adjust at the back of an st lol
