Any one here know of other places around Toronto that does reliable wheel balance service ?
Same price I got from Downtown Audi.

home - independent tuning | Audi Specialists seems good they said $125, lower or not. But never try.

Learn from my mistake Raj...DO NOT GO TO DEALERSHIP...unless you absolutely have to...

2 recomendations

1) LEVEL AUTO - speak to andrew...tell him Myron referred you...i think they charge 89.99 and its 3D imaging alignment as opposed to laser alignment used at agincourt autohaus...

2) INDEPENDENT TUNING - Mark and Brian (I think thats their names) I don't know them well enough for you to go say "Myron told me to come here" lol...but these guys SPECIALIZE in audi...their alignment prices are a bit better if you are pretty sure that you don't need 4 wheel alignment...because they say if they check all for wheels and if no alignment is needed...then its 69.99

if front two wheels need alignment...its like 90ish...(most people only need correction on front 2)

if all four wheels need alignment its a little over a 100ish....





so if you know for sure that pretty much all your wheels need alignment...go to andrew @ level auto....otherwise...go to independent tuning.

The drive feeling of the car does not feel like it needs an alignment, and also when I am driving and take my hands off the wheel , the car does not sway at all, keeps a straight line ( this is my crude way of finding of the wheels needs alignment), correct me if I am wrong here, as I was under the impression these cars should have a slight right bias ??

The only thing that made me think I needed alignment was, when I changed to Winter Tires, the old ones had un-even wear.

if the old tires have uneven wear...there could be an alignment problem...BUT if your car is lowered...then that too can cause uneven wear...

most people who lower the car don't do it the proper way because...well its expensive...

i forgot which one...camber or toe...one of those needs to be adjusted but looking at the pics of wear will allow the more senior guys on this forum to give you a much better answer than I can...

but if I were in your shoes...i'd definitely take it in...but not to the dealership...one of the indy shops i mentioned above

PS - my car doesn't pull to the right...nor have I heard that bias before...
