How much can I expect to play for a full wheel alignment by a Lexus Dealer?

[Zee007]

Hi mate,

I've just had mine done - around £90 as it takes over an hour for full 4 wheel alignment, toe, camber etc.... but with GOLD discount, there is a considerable saving...... ;)

[wildrnes]

lex stockport quoted 110

[TonyGoose]

I've had 2 of these done ... by the same lexus / toyota dealer ...

1st on a MR2 turbo ... £65

2nd on my IS at its 10k service ... £25

Both included adjustments and a full print of before + after + tolerances.

And both cases resulted in a huge improvement in handling.

90-110quid ????? Holey Moley,

Zee - they must've seen you coming with the hubble telescope mate

I don't doubt they're nice people - but at the cost of the shirt off your back ???

I got discount off it via gold - but £25 is very cheap......

Me ?? Toyota dealer in Ipswich ...

Bit far out of the way for most people i expect :)

Having alignment again + 20k service at new Ipswich Lexus centre next week ...

Will make my report but i'm expecting them to be HUGELY more expensive.

Just a sneaky feeling i have ....

For info, my 10k service was 115quid (that includes vat and 25quid for the alignment).

Wheel alignment is not checked @ 10k.

Is this what you paid for a 4 wheel CHECK or an ALIGNMENT?

If this is for a check - then they saw you coming, as this is part and parcel of the 20k service, and not needed @ 10k.

If this is for the alignment - then SCORE! - loads cheaper than everyone else! (including me!)

Lexus Chester was £95 for the alignment, but I paid substantially less, as a problem in sourcing wheels (plus a certain magical discount ;) ) bought the price down to around half that.

Mat.

115quid was the 10k service, vat and full 4 wheel alignment.

Alignment was listed seperately on the invoice at 25quid.

Yes they had to make adjustments ...

Yes i got the printed report showing what they'd changed etc.

And YES it drove much better afterwards :)

as I said in the earlier post SCORE! - thats an excellent price!

:D

why did they check it @ 10k - did you instigate the check, or did tyre wear give it away etc?

and yes - you can tell the difference afterwards!

I asked them to check it - felt a bit too tramliney ....

[bravo]

Thanks for the responce guys much appriciated

[lexussport]

I had mine done at Lexus Coventry the week before Xmas £120 plus vat :hohoho:

[Steve]

do the dealers do it differently or something?

I had mine laser aligned for £15.. all 4 wheels at my local tyre place.

Not like having an alignment is gonna break a waranty is it?

[wildrnes]

ok

just been to my local tyre place (direct tyre & exhaust) in stockport

spoke to tony the boss

now they do laser alignment on all 4 wheels for free

.......

£20 for the adjustments :o

but!!! <_<

this is not the same as the 4 wheel alignment offered by lexus (and toyota)

the machine they use cost 14 k and tests everything (suspension camber etc) i mean it is the muts knutts so when you go to your tyre fitter ask is it tracking being checked or is it everything ie do you get a print out

so to be honest when you see it offered and it seems too good to me true it probably is saying that ...

tony you got a bargin you stud !
