“No thank you, I’ll stick with my laser aligner.”

Tracking gauges or lasers generally do front toe and so have a limit, sometimes they will also take a lot of working out to get the steering straight the general charge for this is around £25-£35 pounds.

However, a computerised wheel aligner can find damaged wishbones, twisted subframes, worn components, Camber / Castor issues all within 2-3 minutes, also proving that the work has been rectified to the manufacturer’s standards and presenting the customers with a before and after printout.

You can charge per adjustment or at a set price but on average for front and rear toe on average you would expect to charge around £60, Cambers/Casters between £15 – £20 per corner.

Even if you have seized components, we would recommend to speak to the customer and explain the issue and prepare the customer for an extra 15 – 30 minutes labour rate.

So a BMW 3 Series may require 2 rear camber adjustments, rear toe, front camber and front toe also need two new track rod ends and they were seized a £180 plus job all found from a 2-minute check.

Some people we speak to are afraid to take the leap of faith into alignment, and generally, it’s down to lack of knowledge, but here at Supalign it’s our business to ensure we look after your business, we pride ourselves in providing top quality factual training so even the receptionist will be happy talking about the printout results.
