Price on lazer alignment
 
I have recently had my alignment done and the bill was 144 quid :eek:

Is this the going rate?

It was a very reputable tuners (unfare to say)and I was under the impression that it would be around 80.00, however the bill is 80.00 for the Bosch machine plus labour and vat. I presumed this sort of job was a labour only work.?

Perhaps its worth a call to chech their prices.

You are not 'buying' the Bosch machine, are you? There is normally only a labour charge because the labour rates include the cost of their capital equipment (tools & machinery etc). £144 seems way over the top. A place local to me has a newish American 'Jim Beam' laser aligner and a full 3D alignment with all adjustments included and a 'before' and 'after' printout is £59 inc. VAT (a year ago). They also included wheel balancing in that, as a favour..

seems a bit steep that, mine worked out expensive cause i had it done, then changed my mind on lowering it and had the fast road settings done. (really should think things through first :wonder: )

bob r 14 June 2007 01:52 PM

I have rang them back and the price is 88.00 + 43.00 p/h for any adjustments. :(

Qualilty work at Prosport but a pricey I think.

New_scooby_04 14 June 2007 01:53 PM

Got mine done for £62 at xtreme scoobies! :)

SVVG 14 June 2007 01:58 PM

Think that's about the same price I paid at RCM - IMHO You get what you pay for though...

PPP Wagon 14 June 2007 03:30 PM

Got mine done @ qwik fit woz £60 with print outs.
Only certain QF centres have the 4 wheel laser alignment tho.
Mine was done in altrincham.

Got mine done for £44+VAT. They spent over an hour on it and didn't charge any extra. This was in Norwich.

Apparantly not.Funny thing is....... the car seems to drive the same as before I took it in, although I now have comfort in the knowledge it's now set up right.

GazTheHat 14 June 2007 03:54 PM

Think mine was 65 + vat at Powerstation.
About 60 at Dastek.

144 is not just expensive, it's taking the p!sh. Didn't you ask the prices before-hand. I tend to ask about everything, even if it's inmaterial. Just so i know what's going on.

classic Subaru Si 14 June 2007 04:04 PM

To be honest I'm in need of a service, mot, alignment and was thinking of going here to have it done, but at those prices I'm not too sure now! P.S. think I seen you Bob, coming down past where offerton house used to be?? couple of days ago!?!?!?

Ahh yes, I do recall seeing you also.:thumb:

Don't be put off with the prices as they have done some good work for me in the past and they are very good at what they do.

classic Subaru Si 14 June 2007 04:24 PM

yeah, I posted a couple of weeks ago for some feedback from these guy's and it was all positive - really good in fact! Just out of interest do you know what to expect to pay for a service?

I paid 360.00 for the 30k service at Prosport, which at a main stealer was around 450.00.

Powerstation 14 June 2007 05:36 PM

Alignment for an Impreza from us is £70 +vat
Aditional costs might be a camber bolt or two in the rear if it warrants it.
They are £23.50+vat and £12.50+vat to fit.
