is my quotes normal?

Hi,

I ask for a quote for a wheel alightment and they said it will cost 300 odd quids..

I was so shock that I didgeometery a steering geometery price..

Anyone knows a good place to do the alightment and steering geometery?

Bases around southwest london, surrey and hampshire?

Cheers

Pick the one nearest you - prices for a full 4 wheel alignment are usually around £70.

Wheels In Motion are the best in the business. In Amersham I think... Not too far to travel.

4 wheel alignment IS steering geometry

Yes, these are all places with Hunter systems. I've used a couple local to me, very pleased with the work at both places.
