I shall withdraw my comments on Kiwkfit, I never thought they would be that good at alligment.

For the sake of £50 I agree it would be money well spent.

Also to give them credit the mobile fitter was excellent.

At the local dealer it was something like £220. I dont remember the exact amount, but it was over £200 and under £300.

Some time ago I took mine in to A4 Audi (local indy) and they farmed it out to Kwik Fit as their machine was broken. When I got the car back, the steering wheel was a mile off centre!
Cost around £70 IIRC.

sorry to dive in so late into the thread.
the kwik fit Hunter alignment system is well regarded and i have used K fit for alignment regularly. not all K fits have this though. check before you go there.
as re. wheel balancing etc. K Fit are totally hit and miss, took may SL there 1 year ago which made the balance worse so on my drive home i went to another K fit 2 miles in the other direction who rebalance free of charge .. perfect!
