I know Kwik-Fit are generally the place to avoid for more or less everything car related, but how about something simple like getting the tracking done? I seem to remember they used to offer this for about £30?

I noticed over the weekend my car was pulling slightly to the left, so I'd like to get it checked out.

I checked the Kwik-fit website, but could only see Full Wheel Alignment advertised and no pricing.

I'm around the Solihull (Birmingham) area if anyone's got any recommendations.

on the screen they were calibrating it according to a 2012 golf cabriolet. My car is a 2006 R32 so I told them thanks, but no thanks.
Well that fills me with confidence! rolleyes

Well it sounds like Kwik-Fit is off the table then.....

There's a Tyre and Exhaust place in Wythall who I've used before to swap rubber over and seem to do a decent job at a good price. Might give them a call and see if they do tracking/alignment.

Just found that website along with a 5% voucher.

Looks to be about £80 ish (Google reviews) for Full Alignment, and £60 for just the front, although they don't actually quote any set price on their website.

Not sure it's pulling bad enough to be bothered to spend that sort of money if I'm honest....

National tyres are good for alignment. Had my car recently aligned by them and it was a good service. Car is bang on now and not pulling. If you go onto their website you can print off a voucher whicvh gets you it done for 50% off so £15
This sounds ideal! I've downloaded the voucher and there's a National Tyres place very close to me (Hall Green).

I'll give them a call and see if I can get it booked in for the weekend.
