4 wheel alignment, Dundee

[rm89]

Hi folks.

I've just bought new alloys for my car and they'll hopefully be arriving next week. Once they're here, I need to get the tyres off the old wheels onto the new ones, and then wheels on to the car, alignment and balancing etc all done. Any recommendations for places in the Dundee area to do them? Thanks in advance for help.

I've been told that Paul Bowers does a great job. I think he's in Clepington Street - tel [phone].
I've not used him as yet, but will be doing so shortly.

As above, I was £90 at Paul's and it's the real deal he uses.

Great, will get in touch with Paul once the wheels arrive. Thanks.

I can't see how it would be possible

Has anyone ever stopped a car in dundee for more then 5 minutes and returned to find it still has all 4 wheels

[Patrick Bateman]

Yes. The car was gone though.

Would also recommend City Quay Garage, they do the 4 wheel laser alignment, have taken all my cars there, done quickly and neatly. Good guys.

Changing your wheels won't affect your alignment, unless one or more wheels from the new set or old set (or both) aren't straight and true. Good idea to have it done every couple of years or so though, potholes and the like will upset alignment and geometry.

Anywhere that has a Hunter laser-alignment system should do a good job, that Paul Bowers seems to have one. You can find places here - http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/location/?postal_code=...

Aye, unfortunately that's partly the reason for the new alloys - I'd been thinking of a change anyway, and then a pothole open cast mine saw to it that my front NS alloy is now rather un-round. Just pushed me into making a decision on alloys anyway. Cheers again for all the suggestions!

Excellent initials on the cherised number, and I'm in Dundee too

That's all from me

This is an interesting topic, I'm in Dundee too... yet didn't know of anyone who could do a proper alignment?!

I assume that if you were to go in with specific settings then these lads would be able to cater for that too??


Cheers,
Grant

Car went in to get its new wheels on etc at Paul's today. Very impressed with the job he's made, car looks cracking and more importantly it's driving much better - I was £146 all in for the tyre swap, wheel change and 4 wheel alignment. Will definitely be using him again. Thanks for the recommendations folks!
