    Default Wheel alignment

    Booked my car in tomorrow to get the wheels aligned as the steering wheel is slightly to the right when driving straight, is £25 a good price?

    That's rather cheap and suggests it is front wheel alignment only
    This is the typical price when using SuperTracker (Kwik Fit, National Tyres, etc)
    It's acceptable

    However, a full four wheel alignment is recommended for the Vectra C
    Although slightly more expensive, between £60 and £80, it takes about half an hour
    This not only checks the front toe, but also the rear toe, and the camber
    You then receive a printout on completion

    My local garage and most Fast Fit Tyre centres offer the basic front wheel alignment
    Most check for free and charge up to £30 if adjustment is required
    As an example, I use National Tyres and there is no charge to check the front wheel alignment

    Full four wheel alignment is different and a charge will always apply

    I wouldn't trust Kwik Fit. They'll probably charge you for a Hunter Alignment, but only actually do the front tracking. Try here >> www.alignmycar.co.uk <<
