Where to get a great priced alignment?

[Chrispie]

I know City Auto at sinming does it for around 60.. quite standard..

[Leepee]

Is wheel alighment covered by the AD within the 3years or 60,000km warranty period?

Anyone get the AD to realigned your wheels before? Thus can save the $60?

[Chrispie]

i think it depends on each AD.. for mine.. need to check.. but good that you brought this up..

[Chickensoup]

Seems that $60 for wheel alignment is quite standard pricing. Some of the machine looks old but still charge the same.

[Chickensoup]

Wheel alignment is not covered under warranty just like wipers, oil filter, spark plugs,etc....

 

Agent will only entertain you one time for wheel alignment if you complain car pulling to one side within the first month into your new car.

Was in Batu Pahat over the weekend and dropped by a big tyre shop. Paid less than RM60 to have the wheels rotated and balanced, 4-wheel alignment, and post-alignment test drive

Oh Yes, in Malaysia the alignment service is much cheaper. However, there are times that after an alignment the car feels worst, due to whatever reason the job is not well done, then going back to Malaysia to claim a re-alignment is a chore.

Local insight is very important

called EuroAutomobiles today and told them about my wheel thingy.. ask me to go back on monday for realignment.. hehe.. saved some money..

Good to deal with houourable Agents. Not every agent is kind or happy to do goodwill.

[Chickensoup]

So motorist have to pay some premium $$ for services in locally.

I paid RM38 for wheel swap, 4 wheel balancing & fron wheel balancing. No problem wif d work done cause i know the shop well enuf.

Wheel Alignment is the tricky job. As for wheel balancing it should be quite straight forward. Locally, you can do a tyre rotation for $15 but only the wheels that are put in front will be balanced.

i had mine done in jaybee... rm30 for wheel alignment and it's quality stuff done. using Hunter machines.

i agree with that... lots of alignment machines in Malaysia are not properly calibrated. Only go to good ones recommended by some1 you know. But non-calibrated machines are also found in singapore... difference is, in SG, they charge S$40-80 for wheel alignment (from small shop to Sramford tyres), in Jaybee, its RM30-50.. for most medium size shops.
