Are the rear wheels ajustable? I used to track cars in ATS although that was 15 years ago, there 4 wheel alinement then was 2 gauges that hook over the rear wheels and the front parts have the light in them. It was not allways possible to get the reading between the 2 front wheels and then line the rears to suit, because the adjustment is on the track end. The tolerances are sometimes + or - 3mm (dependant on make). So it was then possible to line the front wheel to the rears and be within tolerance for the toe in / out on front wheels.

All the laser has done is replace the light bulb that would project a line onto the gauges.

I would use someone reliable but would be reluctant to pay anymore than £50 unless they are able to ajust the rears, fronts and camber (if it's ajustable).

Just because it's an A8 dosen't mean it's anymore of a job to track than anything else like a Land Rover or Impretza and therefore shouldn't cost anymore.
