anywhere from 15-20/tyre for a fit and balance
expect 50-80 for a wheel alignment depending on whether you want front only or both front and rear

expect 50-80 for a wheel alignment depending on whether you want front only or both front and rear$15 - $20 for fit and balance is a total rip.

I've asked around a lot of places and most do fit and balance for $10.

I do know of one place around the Cabra area that does fit and balance for $5 per wheel, but you got to bring your wheels and tires in your boot. If they have to take it off your car then its $10.

yeah I dunno, last time I went it was quite a confusing task
I brought along tyres and wheels
the process was: remove wheels off car>remove tyres on both spare and existing wheels>put existing tyres on spare wheels and balance>put new tyres on existing wheels and balance>reinstall wheels
new air valves for each wheel too, wouldn't be surprised if they charged me some cash to dispose of the old tyres too

totaled around $90 or something in the end

yeah, well that would explain the $90 then.
