You get what you pay for. $60 is only going to get you half an hour usually. Only enough time for them to adjust the toe. If the car needs more work to get it right they should give you the option of spending more to get it right. That's the difference between a decent shop doing a proper wheel alignment/full 'set up' and a quick toe adjustment that 99% of the population couldn't care less about.
There's many tyre and suspension shops in Perth that can be trusted to do a proper job. Use some of the recommendations on here to find one that's close to you. |

I'm in the market for a decent alignment and am happy to pay for a quality outcome, I'm going to get new tires at the same time.

Ratpack (Gavin) has posted above has a couple of tyre shops in the Northern Suburbs and I'm sure he will look after us. Wilko's has always had a good rep amongst car enthusiasts as well. |

No worries guys, yes this is the first time I have had an alignment done.
At the end of the day I got new tyres along with an alignment, I expected the car to drive straight. I think that is a reasonable expectation. I took it back once to see if they could fix it, they didn't. I took it back again, they did fix it after I suggested that the camber might be the reason for the pull. They did not believe that that was the case but adjusted it anyway, the problem is now gone. |

Hey there
Sometimes it can be whats called radial pull, if there non-directional you can easily swap left to right or abit longer to do all 4 front to rear. Most Wheel aligner are too fat n lazy to enter your details let alone do the w/alignment properly (most do a toe and go but also figures can be fudged with paper behind the w/align heads). The wheel alignment angle that mainly makes it pull is called castor and it usually takes an accident or gutter hit. Try to put your car on level ground stick 2 fingers behind and in front of both front wheels (It's a quick castor check) If it turns out castor out e-bay have adjustable arms that let you adjust. Also massive camber difference between wheels can make it pull, but most wrexies have camber pins |
