Right, I've took the motor for it's MOT this morning at sandicliffe Trent bridge,

I took it there because I got the car from another sanicliffe and I have a 20% off sandicliffe plus card. I asked the guy when I was handing over the keys how much for a wheel alignment and he said 70 quid etc which I said no to as I thought this is well exspencive considering when I had tyres fitted a while back I got it done for 20 quid and the used the laser things and everything?

What do u guys rec exspencive or reasonable?

thats a massive rip off.

It takes less then 10 minutes to do your tracking.

depending on the labour per hour thats all you should pay for mate

i paid £35 last time i had mine done

Expensive, if you had it done when your tyres were fitted why do you need it doing again. It costs around £25 to get done around here.

I paid £35 for laser alignment with computer printouts before and after. £70 is a rip-off

Turns out my MOT Isnt due until August 4th! Fuming

They rang me past week saying it was due on the 30t so I booked it in didn't think to look at my old certificate!

So what a a wast of time although they did give it a free visual health check and it came back washed and hoovered so not all bad I spose.
