Tracking Prices????

[Rob]

Just popped into kwik fit (my local one are alright blokes) on the way home, tracking was £40, came outside, saw the car was lowered and said they couldn't do it, as they're machine goes inbetween the wheel and the arch.....

Came home and just looked for prices of places that have that hunter alignment b****cks, gave on a call, price: £140???

Now ffs, I really don't want to pay £140 to have my f**king steering wheel straightened!!

Do I have any other options?

 

[Scrooge]

Elites did mine for £70 when it was on coilovers, I think thats a little far for you to travel though.

 

[jenic]

Hunter alignment up north, £45

 

[Rob]

WTF!?

I'm assuming this place is just full of robbing gits then...

Can my lowered car be done on a normal system? Or does it have to be hunter?

Oh, and can I just be a pikey and mess about with it myself?

That's where I found the second place I rang that quoted me the epic £140

On the old a13 in rainham.

May be worth the trip, I don't mind burning petrol as opposed to burning 20's... lol!!!

Spending money driving FTW. Throwing cash to some business for no reason FTL

 

[Scrooge]

Lol yep they are good in there, they are the biggest allingment place within the m25 apparently. Plenty to look at while you wait aswell.

 

[Rob]

Just rang another place off that site, £120

Wtf is with these people.

I wish kwikfit would just man up and do it FFS!

 

[Rob]

Just phoned elites, £35.99

Checked twice, even if it was on coilovers etc, yep, £35.99

 

[Twisty]

Rob,

Plz let us know if you do find a decent place in London. I need to do the job soon (after I have put the car together again), as the adjustable camber add an extra variable I want to make sure it is a good place that does it. Likewise if I find a good place i will let you know.

 

[Rob]

Cheers mate, this place, elites, sounds mint, bit of a trek, but nothing too bad.

 

[Harpham]

ETS in Somecotes, Derbyshire did my old 1.2 clio (which was pretty slammed) for £20.

 

[Dunn]

£20 round my way

and they have all the laser allingment stuff too

 

[Scrooge]

Bloody hell £35 half the price they did mine for about 3 months ago lol They are only 5mins up the road from me so well handy.

 

[Rob]

Maybe you'll see my fly past Saturday morning mate. Being so out of the way I can't really shoot down on my lunch

 

[Scrooge]

Would be nice to see your new sport. You still had the red one at the de dent I think. I need to price up sportlines and tracking + 2 tyres at elites at some point, not feeling flush at the minute though lol.

 

[Rob]

I need to find someone to replicate the green lip on my wheels on to a plain black one.... know anyone down in essex that does good paint jobs with wheels?

If you're around on Saturday morning mate, and I'm definately going you should pop down there!

 

[Scrooge]

Dead opposite elites actually there is a place called tyre warehouse, they do wheel refurbs. I havn't experienced them myself but ive heard good things about them. Yer might do that actaully PM if your deffo going with a time and i'll pop down to have a ganders.

Did mummy buy you a bag of commas for your birthday??

 

[Rob]

Yes, she did actually Daniel, she suggested I print lots out, nice and small, cut them out and stick them to your head.

YGPM btw

 

[Will.]

Were they orange coloured?

 

[adam172]

elite is massive you wont miss it lol and its only about 15/20mins from mine to give you an idea mate, although i cant remember why iv been there before? but i have for something???

 

[Rob]

That quick over the bridge mate? Awesome! I might swing down the a13 tmrw lunch time

 

[daddycool]

national tyres do wheel alignment for £14 with their website voucher. they've done the zafira and it's all good, now need to get the clio done.

 

[st3ve]

£25 at my local national tyres place.

It's true they put some devices on the wheels but mine was decked at the front with massive camber and fairly low at the back last time I went there for tracking and they still did it.

No hassle at all.

 

[timmyd]

^^^ Elite is very good, done my tracking and wheel alighnment there for bout £40.
If you'ere not happy with it, they will adjust it for free.

 

[Cliotoby]

Its about 30 quid for allignment and toe at national near me, but add camber adjustments in, and its about 80 quid. I think the local hunter allignment place does it for roughly the same price.
