Wheel alignment is a bit of a black art. Last time I had my car aligned properly it took nearly three hours. Most of this is checking and aligning the test equipment to the car initially.
Adjustments are usually simple but when you get into camber and castor adjustments at the back it can take time. The service cost me £165 from AMD Technik in Bicester, Oxon who re-aligned my Peugeot 406 after a nasty encounter with a very deep pot hole.
Pricey, but it goes absolutely arrow straight since.
In my opinion it's money well spent given the reduced spend on tyres and fuel. Even better when you get the local authority to meet the cost but you have to prove negligence on their part, which involves a court hearing as all have a statutory defence entered.
I offered them the opportunity to 'test' their defence. They declined eventually and wrote a cheque!! |
