4 Wheel Alignment in Essex. Any recommendations?
Discussion
Update in case it's useful to anyone.
Most garages in Essex with the Hunter 4 wheel alignement charge way over £100 for a suspension geometry reset.
The Tyre Shop in Witham did a full reset on proper Hunter equipment for me for £50 on the Barge. Lee the guy who did the work really knows his stuff too and took time to make sure it was spot on - and I found out a couple of days ago there's a garage advertising 4 wheel laser alignment for £30 in Heybridge near Maldon.

Steve,
The place in Witham, did that include castor and camber angles?and all necessary shimming associated with it?

I'd had Hunter 4 wheel alignment done before so knew pretty much what to expect. I got the usual before and after printout and the guy spent about an hour carefully setting every angle up. My Barge geometry is adjusted by offset camber bolts, not shims so no dismantling is required.
I questioned why so cheap compared with other garages - they told me it's a fairly new buisness and they are keen to get established.

Just called Witham Tyre Shop after reading the recommendations on here, unfortunately they are closing on Friday this week (2nd June). The guy I spoke to said they won't be re-opening unless they can find another suitable premises.
That's a bummer...Google alignmycar to find another garage with a Hunter machine and hopefully employs somebody who knows how to use it.
