    How odd.

    Wilmslow Performance Tyres are just a member of the Protyre franchise, and their website says £30 for front wheel alignment, while the "additional requirement" for four wheel is subject to a separate quote.

    I've only ever been quoted a flat fee for either two or four-wheel.

    At the cost of a tyre these days trying to do the job on the cheap is false economy - It has already been pointed out that it is not just a couple of turns of a spanner - it i putting the vehicle on a very expensive jig and carrying out any adjustments that are needed - not just the bit you have repaired. That has to be correctly aligned with the other three corners. - you are *assuming * that only one part is out. They will need to check ALL not just the bit you replaced otherwise trhey cannot do the job right.
