Wilko's for me too....$66 for my alignment and it was spot on.

My uncle was quoted 2-3 hours on his Euro vehicle at WW, yet paid $80 at Wilkos for the same job...took a bit longer than my WRX, thus the 14 dollar price difference. Couldnt justify $250 plus though.

Wilko's every time. Tel them what you want and they will do it, The best part is they WILL question what you are asking for to make sure you have 1/2 a clue.

WW for me - I've always rec'd good service from John & Bob.

I think the consensus is pretty obvious - take it to either Wheels World or Wilkinson's.

PS - have heard good comments about Kerry Wade @ Bridgestone Bentley, but have never used him.

Me = wheel aligner

Tyres sure can cause a pull, but right after dropping springs into it.. i dont think so.

My thoughts are that when they rebolted the suspension to the hub they didnt think about how they should set the camber, you see you can get quite a lot of camber (negative or positive) by the way you push or pull the hub before you redo the lower strut bolts. Some cars get bugger all out of moving camber in this method though.

Do you have the printout of the wheel alignment? In future everyone ASK FOR THE PRINTOUT! No printout, no money!

Wheel world for me too. took the car in for an alignment coz the car wasn't running to smooth. found out when i pick her up that it had a broken rear camber bolt and that the front and rear left hand wheels were way out of wack. cant remember how much they charged but seemed ok to me. the car now handles and runs real smooth.

WHEELS WORLD, WHEELS WORLD, WHEELS WORLD hehehe
