Wheel alignment in North London

[Pibbow]

Hi lads now down in the smoke or should I say mist for a week and have a problem with my wifes 4x4 pulling to the right under braking.
Anyone know of a good alingment place I should use before sending it in to a main dealer at £125.00 p hour for investigation.

Cheers
Peter

Peter,

Can't help with North London, but in the absence of someone that knows.....
Have a look at http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/.
That will give you people in the area with the right kit.

I had a full 4 wheel alignment on the 3200 done at the local Merityre - full Hunter rig, excellent service and all for £75.
(They don't stock the shims for the 3200 but played around with all the existing shims to get it right)

Cheers

Gordon

Depending on where you are Peter I can recommend Blackboots in Chesham, Bucks which is North West of London and close to J18 of the M25. They recently checked and adjusted the alignment of everything on my Alfa GT on their Hunter machine (wouldn't bother with anything else now!) and with a little fine tuning to proper specs transformed the handling and eliminated the tramlining. If they're too far away then look for somebody with a Hunter machine as this should show where the issues are immediately. The cost of my check and adjustment? £65+VAT for the whole job!
