I've been charged as much as £200 in Aberdeen for a 4 wheel alignment on a Touareg. Cracking job but typical of local Aberdeen pricing for most things. 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Baltic Blue MY11 |

Protyre - 50 quid. make sure whoever does it has the right equipment as it requires special 4 x 4 I believe. |

Had mine done at a tyre place once for £40 took about 20 minutes and cost me 2 front tyres within about 2 months as it took the outer edge off them both, ended up getting it done at the dealers for £160 and it took 2 hours and recieved a full print out of all the measured angles against the specs. |

It's a specialist job.... The guy doing it has to know the exact spec and tolerances of what he needs to achieve. I did it myself once with some borrowed mirrors and equipment.

Right 3rd trip to garage on Saturday car drives straight but wheel is at 2 o'clock position. On first name terms with the manager at this point. I show operator where wheel is pointing when driving straight and he sets up alignment machine. He gives me a call for me to set car into tight tolerance mode. After ten minutes he gives the thumbs up the cars ready. He asks me to take car for a drive and return if still off. I go for a drive and discover wheel is now at 1 o clock position. I go back and they tell me they are too busy and I will have to wait |
