Can anyone recommend where to go to get my wheel alignment done?
Been to my local tyre fitter and they said they couldn't.
South of England not really looking to go far!
Thanks

WIM / Black circles if you want the premium service, but I get mine done at F1.

I booked my tyres through Blackcircles and asked at the garage and they said they couldn't do it there, bit annoying.
I have spoken to Protyre and they have said £40 per adjustment what ever that could end up being??

That sounds cheap. Or expensive. I recall F1 charge me about £80 from memory

I recommend a different place near Chesham, but you say that is too far away.

Another place is Center Gravity near Atherstone in Warwickshire.

Very good. Chris and Pete know what they are doing. Work on Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati and other prestige stuff.

“wheels in motion” is the same business as Black Boots - not sure which is the current trading name, but it’s the same place.

I've only had the wheel alignment on 1 car, and it made no difference. Admittedly it was at Qwikfit and it wasn't a sporty car

My 1965 Mustang was almost underivable until the guys in Chesham did their stuff - literally night and day.

The Strad burned through front tyres (inside edge) until having a non OEM setup.

It was a while ago. On full lock the inside wheel would scrub along the surface(kind of like articulated lorrys do)

Initially I was told the wheels were turning too much, then I was advised to have the wheels aligned which didn't make any difference.

In the end 2 new front tyres cured the problem

I’ve just put a pair of Maxxis on the front of my Alfa and it’s started doing it so it’s tyres I would say
