4 Wheel Alignment - Sussex, Surrey, Kent (Recommendations)

Post by bc-49 »

Hi All!

Looking for recommendations for a 4 wheel alignment for fast road and track in the Sussex, Surrey, Kent region.

Lots of us based in the SE, so hopefully there are some members out there that can help point me in the right direction

Cheers!
Bill

Not in the location you ask.
But a lot of the Mercedes Forum guys use and rate Wheels in Motion in Chesham Bucks.
May be worth a Call or Email.

Thanks!

Looks like Abbey are only ½ hour from me so will give them a try.

Always feel better going somewhere that others recommend, rather than wandering blindly into the unknown!

Be careful doing this.. You never know what "extra" services Nigel gets from places.

Wheel power in Brockley are decent and also BMsport in Bexleyheath though they mainly deal with modified BMW's.

Have used both for my cars and they don't just follow what the machine says but listen to what setting you want for fast road/track.

BMSport in Bexleyheath are great, the alignment work they carried out on my RX8 absolutely transformed the handling.

State of the roads and a couple of tyre changes, I should probably get it done again.
