I've recently had a read wheel bearing replaced, a rear spring coil replaced and all 4 wheels refurbished and straighten where needed.
The tyres are still quite new, 4K miles at most, and so i would like to have the wheels alignments checks to make sure that they are all in line.

Can anyone recommend a place in the East London/Essex/Kent way, that are able to work on a Jaguar XFR?

+1 from me, they done the 4 wheel alignment on my mk1 mr2 and totally transformed how it drives.

Given that this was the closest to me, I'm here having the alignment looked at now. Don't however appreciate the unnecessary revving of my car, because "it's a beast mate". A quick word with the guy should hopefully be it.

FFS, another guy is revving the car and had a go at him. Not going to be using this place again. Call me a princess, but I just don't appreciate people revving an engine with no load on it. Even more so that this is a replacement engine.

I've got to say that does sound a bit unprofessional but I'd only be really pissed off if they start bouncing it off the rev limiter

Wheels in motion did a great job, they were very friendly and professional.
Can't say much about the other place, which after cleaning my wheel today, they've purposely scratched; I've just had all the alloys refurbished too. The s.

Such an elite scratch on the alloy, clearly not an accident.
