    £25 doesn't sound bad for a 4 wheel alignment - does that include making any required adjustments? Any discount you may be able to get via your friend is only likely to apply to national chains who will probably start off more expensive than a local place anyway.

    If you want a really good alignment find somewhere that uses the Hunter system (preferably not Kwik Fit though). However, you will pay considerably more than £25 for this service.

    Seems about right to me, by the time you've wrestled with seized adjusters, it'll seem better value.

    I doubt very much that it's price for 4 wheel alignment as the equipment is more expensive and the labour takes longer.
