Unbalanced Wheels
My car has been wobbling around for a while now so I got a free wheel balance check done and basically they need balancing.
I've been quoted £85 for this, is that good or can I get it cheaper elsewhere?

Get Yellow Pages out and ring round a few places. Wont take you long to get a few prices. Then compare with your original quote.
