I desperately need to get mine! Following the guide on GTi6 forum and didn't see that my Lemforder TREs have much longer threaded shaft than stock so counting the turns wasn't enough, measuring the length in MM would've been better. It's way way out now! But needed doing anyway...
As only the front can be adjusted, do garages know this and do cheaper rates at all?

It's usually anywhere from £10-£20 for front tracking depending on where you go up here

I paid £20 for mine about a month ago, although I was talking to a mate who uses one of the proper high tech thingys and he said the BMW that had just come off the ramps had been charged £125 for the pleasure!

I think mine has been ~£35 on its own. Although the last time I got it done free as a deal with the tyres.

My place charge 30+vat for front wheel alignment, using top of the range computerised super-tracker kit. Rear adjustment are charged separate per side if that model of car can be adjusted at all. The toe, camber and caster check us free if not adjusted.
