Just had mine done five minutes ago.

Mechanic: They look pretty straight mate, do you want it doing?
Me: Does it need doing?
Mechanic: Yes.

Cost me £25, should have phoned round.

How do they engineer them to pull left if the toe is uniform on each axle?

They don't people are just making it up I think. There is nothing on the geometry of a car to make it go to the left.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It should only ever pull to the left if the camber of the road is significant.

That is what it cost me, seems a good price.

you can mince the edge of a new tyre in only a few thousand miles, if your tracking is out.

Good idea that, make you plough into pedestrians instead.
