Ok so when i got the car back from the wheel alignment i said i didn't want them to do anything... something about the tyres just being over 10,000k's old... hmmmmm they did the wheel alignment and didn't adjust anything which was fine with me.
I shot down to tonys tyre service and showed them the alignment sheet and they were amazed at how piss poor the original alignment was everything on the front and the back, camber, toe in and out was out by like 2 degrees!!!!! Also at the top of the alignment sheet it showed the machine mag and homo use and apparently tonys old, old machines were newer than the ones mag and turbo use!!!!
So tonys are ordering me in 2 new tyres, wheel alignment for $40 and the $5 tyre insurance thing, so i'm happy, will steer people away from mag and turbo from now on to....
