Cars should have there Wheels Aligned every year


Using state-of-the-art digital cameras the 3D Image Aligner captures the vehicle’s alignment in 3 dimensional space without reference to the lift or the horizontal plane. By placing reflective targets on the vehicle’s wheels full alignment readings are achieved. Cars should have there Wheels Aligned every year or during a Service which we do FREE of charge. We only charge you if adjusting needs to be done.

Cost of Wheel Alignment:
2 Wheel Alignment (Front) £25
4 Wheel Alignment (Front & Back) £50
