by aligned do you mean the tracking?

I got my tracking checked for 20 quid, and a tenner a wheel for balancing so sounds about right.

The wheels need balancing, wheel alignment wouldn't make the car vibrate.

There's no way whatsoever that you should be paying more than £20 for balancing 4 wheels.

I wouldn't even bother having all 4 done, have the fronts done first, if that doesn't sort it, get the rears done too.

Yeah sorry the car goes in a different direction slightly when I take my hands off the wheel in a straight line too so guess the tracking needs doing too.

To be fair you can still feel the wheels moving to one side just have to hold on tighter.

i went load's of place to try and get mine tracked, hard to find somewhere to do it..
