Been advised that my 645ci needs the KDS wheel alignment due to excessive tyre wear on the front outer edges. Local dealer has quoted me £360 and wondered if any independents offer this service around the above area's?

I know there is something called a "hunter" machine which does the same job as the BMW KDS technique - anyone able to shed some light on this?

Also - my car has an AUC warranty and the dealers telling me this isn't covered as It's probably due to hitting a pothole! Anyone managed to get this work done under a warranty?

I use wheels in motion at Chesham. Always found that they do a good job.

I have used Wheelpower in SE London for both my last cars 328i and 540i Sport. Highly recommended and superb value at under £100 for a full Hunter Laser alignment!! Might be well worth the journey thru town!? I may well use them for a soon to be purchased C5 RS6!

Wakefield were 99 quid including all adjustments.
Sheffield wanted 120 quid inc all adjustments.

99 was the offer Sheffield were talked down to 120.

Or go on alignmycar and find a hunter placed near you .
