I'm looking for a reliable mechanic in Leeds as my car has developed a wheel wobble. Not sure if it's just tracking or something else.

Can anyone recommend a reliable mechanic in Leeds? I'm based in Wortley and work in Morley, but can travel anywhere in Leeds easy enough.

I have a mobile mechanic who is spot on and doesn't charge a lot, he's never let me down and really reliable. 07718 222062 done some work on my Clio a few times, his Facebook is Andy roe mobile auto services

What do you mean by wheel wobble? As in your steering wheel is wobbling or one of your actual wheels?

If it's alignment related I'd recommend BRAM Racing in Featherstone.

For other bits and bobs which I can't do myself, I've usually use Morley MOT off Bruntcliffe Lane. Use them for my MOT's as I can drop it off then walk to work. They've always helped me out and loosened bolts etc for free when I've popped in as well.

This afternoon I'll be changing my front shocks which I should of changed a few months ago but kept putting it off [emoji23] also doing a oil change hopefully runs smooth as my mechanic skills set is quite basic!

[Clio_fool]

You'll enjoy doing the shocks. Just remember if it came out, it'll go back in!

 

[Sj1782]

Haha I should be ok got my mate lending a hand, I'll take a video of the shocks, the passenger side is f**ked! Needed replacing when the springs got changed and that was a good few months ago [emoji23]

Was going to say one of them was on its last legs when the Cooksports were fitted. Can't imagine what it's like now 😂

I ended up taking it to Alba Tyres down Gelderd Road as they fitted my last new tyres. Turns out it was just a wheel balancing needed, so £15 and I'm a happy man!

Let's just say when I go over speed bumps the passenger side scrapes and it didn't used to do it's got alot worse, can't wait to see what it's like [emoji23]

[Sj1782]

[leeds2592]

[Sj1782]

Nope ha pushed it in and it stayed like that the drivers compressed back out! Glad there on now went for a quick drive and could tell the difference
