Here`s the rub BMW/MINI = approx £180.00

Tyre company = £30.00 (and I have the printout showing readings and invoice showing cost

SO £136.00 is a rip off

my mate is the son (and manager) of owner of McConechys Tires (now own Hi-Q). My boss went for a 4 wheel laser alignment in his alfa to the Glasgow South Side branch and it should have cost approx £20- 30. Not all branches have the kit tho.
