Do you challenge this if it represents different treatment to when you bring your own car in?However they stick on a charge for fitting/balancing etc when I take a work vehicle in.
I agree with oopsbuddy. Balancing (or lack thereof) does not cause wear on one side or the other, Tracking (or alignment) does. This usually costs about €40 - €50.I had to get two new tyres at the w/e.The fitter told me the wheels needed to be balanced as they were wearing more on the inside. I paid €200 in total -€80 x 2 for tyres and €50 for balancing and got €10 discount. I got a computer printout which showed all the various readings on the alignment. I have had wheels balanced before and this charge seemed about right.

Had to get a new tyre. When I got it back from the garage I noticed that they had scraped my alloy wheel quite badly.
Is this a regular problem with alloy wheels or were the garage being careless.
The garage were careless...very! This is not normally something that happens IME when changing tyres. Are you sure you didn't kerb the wheel when parking and forgot (or maybe 'er indoors did it) ?
It's not a hazard though if it's just a scrape.
