I paid £30 for tracking yesterday. It only took the 10mins and this includes the time it took to put the car on the ramp. I don't rememeber it being this much. Am I getting stingy in my old age?



And come to think of it the guy did look very cagey as he asked for my cash!

MY Stealer charged me £85!!!

You did better than me.

Is tracking the same as proper 4 - wheel alignment?

The Zohan

wouldnt have thought so.

Tracking is usually the front wheels only?!?

Lastr time i had the 4 wheel alignment done it took 30 mins and i got charged £35.00, usually £ 70.00, got a deal as i had 4 new tyres at the same time.

Look like I got off lightly then.

£26 from my local Protyre for 4 wheel alignment (about £16 to balance the all the wheels if required)

Microstar

"Tracking" is just a check of the front-wheel toe-in angle. Some places will do this free and then charge £15-30 if adjustment is required. Often they will use a drive-over 'slip-mat' to do this - but ideally should use something like a 'SuperTracker'.

A full wheel-alignment is much more involved and costs £50-100. This will check all suspension angles, including toe, camber, castor, SAI, thrust angle - for both front and rear of the car.

All of these are only as good as the guy using the equipment.

My local protyre charged me 45 for the tracking to be sorted on all 4 wheels for my girlfriends car?? Thats there standard price apparently.. was told 35 if just the front is being done and 45 if all of its being done

For all your info as this seems quite cheap. I had it done at my local Formula One Autocenter. Front wheels only.
