Where can I have my Audi A6's wheel alignment checked cheaply?

I drive an Audi A6 2.0 diesel running on Continental tyres. The car has passed its MOT with a note that the nearside rear tyre is wearing on the outside edge. The pressure is ok, so this could be due to potholes/speed bumps? A re-alignment was suggested. I gave the garage a call to check this out and was told 'Audi don't do tracking, just realignment at a cost of £350'. Seems excessive. Any suggestions?

Have a 'four-way laser alignment' at a branch of www.alignmycar.co.uk. But obviously get a quote first.
