road and race at rydelmere. the guy literally spent 50mins doing an alignment on my car - including multiple test drives to make sure it was 100%.

+1 for spinning wheel
+1 for heasmans
I've used both but spinning wheel is a bit cheaper for alignment. Heasmans if you want corner weighting as well as Spinning wheel is reluctant to do them.

I've also heard good things about road and race at rydelmere but they are a bit far away from me.

Also http://www.sydneysuspension.com.au/ if your out near penrith.

At road race Rydalmere right now. The guy has already spent an hour, now rolling my front guards as well since they were rubbing a little. Such attention to detail

What's the rough price these places charge? Ie. would it be worth it over your standard $69 special?

around $120. for a stock standard normal car probably not. sports car that sees hard street / track use most definitely.

15 mins vs 50mins to an hr that's what you're paying for.

15mins is your AAA special, toe and go lol
Full front and rear adjustment plus road testing and steering wheel centring would take about an hour so $120 is good value if the car feels a lot better.
I haven't had much experience aligning cars but E82 is not that hard.

+1 on road and race Rydalmere.

I've stupidly gone elsewhere to get it done. After 110 I started to notice issues. Took it back twice before it got sorted.

Just get it done right first go. I should've taken it to there and not gone for the quick option near work.
