I've got a Jaguar XJ6 and I'm getting a set of Pirelli P Zeros fitted to it on Monday. The geo has never been totally right with it, and I used one of those national autocentres places to get the tracking done a couple of weeks back as they had an offer on. If anything, they made it worse - the steering wheel has to be turned left slightly to get the car to drive straight, and I can't imagine it'll do my new tyres much good.

So, what's the best place I can take it to in order to get this sorted? Would rather not pay mega money as I've spent well over a grand on stuff for the car in the last week!

I'm based in Erith, near dartford, so anywhere reasonably local would be good .

Thanks in advance smile

I've heard Elite in Essex are ok and do a drive in service not used them myself though. However I use Barney Sands in Northfleet and although you need to book in advance they have always done a good job.

no brainer - Boss Racing near Fawkham round the back of Brands Hatch....
the main guy is called Rob - aside from road cars they set up race cars for various series. They have done a fair few of our clubs cars - inc my own.
You'll get looked after anyway, but welcome to drop our club name ( probably will offer the better biscuits with the tea - southern kit car club). won't charge too much for a sanity check and will advise on what def needs attention - all singing all dancing 'gear' - moreover knows how to use it!

Thanks for those replies, much appreciated! Fitting the tyres tomorrow, think I'll try the place near Brands Hatch first, as a friend of mine just recommended that to me as well.
