Question

My local garage said that they'll do 4 wheel alignment on my MY99 for £20, using a lazer.

It's only £20 and they can't mess things up that much can they?

Also, what figures should I give them?

How come 4 wheel laser alignment is so cheap??

I've had 4 wheel Computer alignment (Using a Hunter computer thingy)and that cost me £60-70 plus the VAT.

Took a good 45 mins or more and they provide you with a colour copy of the 'settings' before adjustment and after.
All in a nice little wallet.

Is laser just as good??

What's the pros and cons of using either??

Laser setup is not a geometry setup, thats why its cheap.

Laser is basic it just sets the front and rear wheels to run perfect to each other, where as a full geometry setup does the entire handling package, so to speak.
