• Wheel alignment 12 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Jazz has got her 2nd service coming up at the end of January. Do they check wheel alignment during a normal service or do you have to ask them to do it? Would it be cheaper to have it done at an independent garage? (I assume that wheel alignment doesn't come under things covered by the warranty).

• Rear wheel alignment 2001 - Honda Accord 23 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I've recently had my car laser checked which has revealed that my n/s/r wheel is out of alignment- the car has a slight pull to the left which is most noticable under braking. Is the rear alignment adjustable and if so is this a Honda dealer job or could I expect to find an independent to carry out the work?

• Tracking/Alignment 20 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  From searching the backroom I find that "wheel alignment" and "tracking" are the same thing? From what I have read and enquired you can pay between £20 and £65 for an "4 wheel alignment check with basic adjustment" Do you tend to get what you pay for?
