Save yourself some money and go to Wheels in Motion in Chesham:
http://www.blackboots.co.uk/wheels-alignment.php
it's still going to cost £100+ for all 4 wheels.
You get what you pay for, as most tyre places just check toe angles.

I use the TT Shop in Bedford for full four-wheel alignment. It costs about £70 inc VAT. In my experience the service from them is superb and the techie really knows what he's doing. Here's the link

As you're in MK, they're not too far away.
PS: Really miss the A2!

I had my A2 aligned at Awesome GTI when the FSD's were fitted, they were very good and it cost about £100. It was the first time the steering wheel had been straight and the car didn't drift slightly to the left! Even though the Audi dealer had apparently done an alignment when they fitted a new suspension part under warranty!
I can also highly recommend Drury Lane Services in Oldham. Paul (who runs this garage) has the same kit as WiM (Wheels in Motion) and the set-up he did on my Mx-5 is 2nd to none and transformed the car from a skitish ice skate to a proper handling sports car. The cost was around £120 for the 3 hours works (the MX-5 has more adjustments as the castor, camber, and toe-in can be adjusted on all 4 wheels) Can't recomend them both enough.
Worth doing, especially if the car drifts, or has uneven tyre wear.

Just had mine done at Blackboots / wheels in motion.
Great bunch of guys and very knowledgeable, highly recommend.
Only cost me £65. Took them around an hour and they had to adjust the rear axle and the left front.
My wheel is now straight and my car drives very nicely
