Geometry check - camber/tracking etc..

[shantybeater]

I just spoke to someone at protyre regarding a full geometry check & adjustment as they were recommended and they said it costs £30 per adjustment, I'm assuming this means tracking & camber so a cost of around £60 or do they mean like front/back? what is a full geometry check? isnt it just tracking & camber or is there more to it than that?

It will more than likly cost you the £75 for them to check it then you will proberly have to pay X amount per adjustment made.

Assuming your having it laser aligned.

Protyre when they have done mine before under my instruction on the badgerwagen was ~£30+vat for camber/tracking adjustment

Looks like i got robbed then!

Im sure i paid a check charge and then an adjustment charge on top of that, came to about £102 IIRC.

I think that your charging was "nearly okay" or depending where you live "okay" as they would have had to check the fixed rear was okay, check the camber/caster and toe-ing of the front and adjust it side to side to centre it to the rear. Four wheel alignment does despite what lots of people say, make good sense as its no good just whacking on new and maybe ungraded suspension components and expecting miracles to happen in the handling is the basic settings have not been corrected.

well hopefully i'll be charged the same as you bill

Got mine done after i fitted my coilovers. Was £55 +vat and that was for tracking and camber adjustment.

Can't believe how much you get charged down there. The Time I got it it was around £20, mind you only for camber...

Last time i went to Protyre it was £47.50 all in for both

I assume all these quotes above have been using a proper laser alignment machine?

 

[pj1985]

Mine was £60 for everything.

Well I'm just across the country from you and it cost £100+ a couple of years ago for a four wheel re-alignment for an Ibiza 6K at Seat (from uncle Arnie!) - where did you get your camber done for about £20?

Local garages. All pretty much the same price range.

Up in Aberdeenshire by the way not down here in Glasgow.
