i know the guys at Tyre Factory in Cheltenham do a good job, a front and rear allignment was $55 for me

i would reckon any decent suspension/tyre shop would be able to do a good wheel alignment... seriously isn't this just a basic thing for them to do?

66 is 4 wheel alignment
35 is just the front...

i got mine there...seems good enough for me....

I was also just about to say $35 for all four is really cheap. $55 is about the right price to pay - just ring a few places for a quote.


When I had mine done they just placed a machine over the rim and that has sensors to identify the wheel alignment. Pretty simple really and didnt take to long.

when i called and asked..they quoted me $55

but when i went to pick up my car to pay for the wheel alignment..they said to me..ur car is a front wheel drive car..we'll only charge you for the front wheel alignment..but they aligned all 4 wheels

haha..did it about 2 - 3 weeks ago.

i've still got the receipt somewhere

Aren't they franchises? So each Bob-Jane will have different price and service standards.
