where to get 4 wheel allignment done in South Bucks?

[rb5230]

Hi, recently got 4 alloys refurbed on my RB5 and some new tyres, and also put some second hand speedline alloys with tyres on my legacy.

So really i would like to get both cars laser alligned.

Is there anywhere that may do a deal as there will be 2 cars? But most importantly who is likely to do the best job?

I am near High Wycombe and last time I got a car tracked it was in Slough by a well known tyre place, and then the next week when i took the car to a friend at the local garage he said one of the adjustment points had obviously not been touched as it was seized up, he then heated it up and freed it up but i wont be taking a car back to them if they think they can do this to customers.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Merityre next to Little Chalfont tube station. The guy that fits my tyres said to go there, apparantly the new £8k machine they have is the best available. I tink it was £65+VAT for all 4.

thanks for the quick replies, any more recommendations would be appreciated.

Wheels in motion seems top of the list so far as anyone can buy a laser allignment machine but knowing exactly how to use it may be another matter and these chaps seems to think they know what they are doing.

Broadway Autocentres in Beaconsfield are brilliant. They're the only people I've ever used locally (and I've been through a lot of tyres) who ALWAYS balance tyres right the first time. And they did the alignment on my MX5 perfectly AND on my old 4-wheel steering Honda Prelude, which is something that nearly everyone including even some Honda dealers manage to cock up.

Can't recommend them highly enough.

I can recommend WiM, I used them for alignment & tyres on my MX5, sorted the tyres via email on an evening, thanks tony

I too can recommend WIM and have known Tony for a while now. I wouldn't take my Ferrari anywhere else for tyres or geometry even though it's a massive trip for me from SE London.

yeh i wont be going to wheels in motion, they want £114 per car for my subarus? thats £228 for both!!!

I was expecting maybe £150 in total but that seems like complete lunacy.

So i will be looking for a more reasonably priced place, broayway tyres top price is £75 and they use a quality Hunter machine.

That's fine if they use it properly! You're welcome for the advice given.

Well another poster has recommended them, and they have now been there quite a while so would think they are well familiar with the machine, and also they check the allignment for free to see if it it needs much if any and if it is just the fronts that need setting up it is £40.

Wheels in motions prices seem to be £40 more per car than absolutely anywhere else for a full set up, and with no chance of a possible discount for 2 cars, seems a bit overpriced to me. I have never heard of allignment costing that much anywhere.

Thanks for the recommendations though chaps.

As a rule of thumb I've generally found that regardless of the badge on the nose of a car, if a place offering alignment services can correctly set up a car with 4 wheel steering, they can manage most normal cars without bother.
