Wheel alignment?

[tweedless]

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??

“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.

Perhaps Qwikfit and WIM are an unfair comparison

How badly out were they when they started?

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

That sounds like Ackerman and not a lot to do with alignment.

Yes, they all do that, it was much worse for me on P Zero than PS4S

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

I don't think this was on his Maserati

I finally had my wheel alignment done after changing all the rubber! And I am glad I did!
