Do kwik fit do tracking? I've had to replace my track rod ends and the tracking really needs to be done, but most garages can' do it until the end of the week.

Yes, I've just been and had it done this morning.

How much it cost? And how long did you have to wait?

Burnsy

£54 per tyre and £27 tracking. £1 per tyre disposal costs.

Took about 45 mins.

What does a balance involve?

The wheels are tested on a machine for any heavy spots in the wheel, and a lead counter balance is added to the wheel to compensate.

Even a few ounces of unbalanced weight causes vibration through the wheels.
