Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment
A while ago I had a quote of £18 per axle for wheel alignment.
This week while have a puncture mended at another fitters, I asked for a quote for wheel alignment and was quoted £130.
When I asked why so much i was told that it was 4 wheel alignment, carried by laser equipment and would take an hour and a half to set up and complete.
So, is it worth the extra £90 or so to have this done over the standard alignment check?

I had the tracking done on a few years ago and wanted a little toe in on the front and the garage refused and said that every car has to be parallel at the front
They set it parallel then I had to adjust the tca's a turn each end to get some toe in

why do you want slight toe in , from my investigations the front wheels should be set up with a slight toe out , they will pull in under accleration and fast motorway driving ? but any other ideas would be welcome have just adjusted mine to give slight toe out approx 3mm .
