Thumbs up Tracking

After having two new Avons ZV fitted I thought it might be a good idea to have a four wheel laser tracking done which I did today at a cost of £49.00 which seems to be to norm for laser tracking

Need to get mine sorted, bet it has not been done in years. The tyres were new when I got the car so will wait until I need to replace and have it checked.

When I had the Nexens fitted to the Saloon, we had 4 wheel tracking done and it made a massive difference to the Car.

The Ride, Handling and even MPG improved slightly, though new tyres would obviously have more to do with that.

I always have had my Tracking done after fitting new Tyres.

Well I must say that is a very good price I have looked up prices on the net after seeing your post and most of them charge £60.00 They did say at my garage that this was on offer for £49.00 but I thought this was about the normal price

I got charged £60 at NTS when I had my fronts fitted a year or so ago. When visiting Horners (Rover specialists) in Swinton the other week I was looking at their 4 wheel alignment chart and asked how much they charged. £35 they said, which probably didn't include VAT, so that's more likely £42 to "normal" folk like me.
