Do a search on the internet - most training providers will show their prices and their locations.

No. You have to have a separate bay and rollers.

We have atl and are allowed to use the same rollers, but we have seperate software on the roller computer.Also the headlight aligner must be in an approved area ours is in front of the ramp.

We use and have used for at least the past 15 years our car rollers, might be because it can weigh the bikes as well.

All dvsa approved as well.

That could be where I've got it wrong - neither set of our car rollers weigh so I had to get a new set of rollers for bikes. If the VE had mentioned that if the class 4/7 rollers could weigh they could be used for bikes I might have killed two birds.....

Sorry for the confusion.
