Seems very very difficult to get someone thats good at this. I even paid £211 for a road force with H&L Motors and they left my car un-drivable. Kwick fit, F1 Camberley and national Tyres, some random backstreet garage near me have all failed to get it spot on.

Does anyone have a sensitive car with no room for tolerance and have a place that can get it right consistently?

H&L in Fullwell? Interesting, I was about to take mine to them as I just learnt they have a road force m/c. Like anything, only as good as the operator I suppose. Always had good service from H&L on other work...oh well.

Oddly(!) Kwikfit near Richmond bridge have been good in the past, and normally I avoid such chains like the plague.
Yeah H&L were the worst for me, odd that a road force was so bad, I took it to F1 Camberley a week later and they improved it but didnt get it right, then Black boots in Chesham did it for £6 +VAT a wheel and got it much better. Still fked but I have an issue with the wheels I think.

TBH, Black boots did such an improvement I might take it there in future. Get Tony to do the geo. while im there too.

Going to refurb my old wheels I think and put them back on.

Wheels refurbed, so the 220m are back on. No problems at all. Sold the crappy reps
