Essex Subaru Owners Club Geometry Setup Day
Skidmarques, Hutton
Sunday 17th March
Hey guys,

I have organised a geometry & wheel alignment day for us down at Skidmarques in Hutton, Brentwood on Sunday 17th March.
Wheel alignment is one of the biggest factors that affect the way your vehicle drives and handles.

Damien, owner of Skidmarques in Hutton and I have been friends for a long time. He is exceptionally good at what he does as has done my geometry for years.
They can alter camber, castor, toe, track and ride height of the state of the art Hunter 4 wheel laser alignment jig. Choose from mild mannered road geometry to the renound Prodrive specifications. Or have an agressive track setup for that forthcoming track day.

Good geometry will make your car safer, drive smoother, handle better and corner sharper. Not to mention ensure those expensive tyres wear correctly.

We will also have the following benefits on the day:

Full use of Skidmarques premesis
Use of their 2 post ramp/tools for small jobs and demonstrations
Tea & Coffee facilites
Heated waiting room with games console
Unlimited parking
Sandwiches or BBQ depending on numbers

Damien has offered us trade prices on all alignment services for the day and is willing to do deals on tyres and other services.
Donations can also be made to farleighs hospice for some services. http://www.farleigh.org/

Geometry pricing as follows:

Front toe adjust £24
Rear Toe adjust £24
Camber adjust £10 donation to Farleighs Hospice
Castor adjustment £10 donation to Farleighs Hospice

So a full toe, camber, castor setup at only £68!!

See the full range of Skidmarques services here www.skidmarquesltd.com
Unit 7, Everik Business Centre
Prospect Way, Hutton
Brentwood, ESSEX
CM13 1XG
[LEFT]



Services will be performed on a first come, first serv basis and doors open from 10am.

I will also be on hand for any mechanical work you may need a hand with.

See you all in the morning.

Frayz.

Good day out, pity I didn't get my tyres sorted in time to get them on for today but I'll definitely be paying them a visit when I get them.

Thanks to Frayz for arranging this, well worth the day out, firstly to meet up with the guys and to have the prodrive set up done on my car.
WOW what a difference, the turn in is amazing and the car is now stable at high speed, thanks to Frayz and the team at Skid Marques for the support and work

And the food, breakfast/lunch and drinks, thank you!

Fantastic day, huge thank you to everyone involved... especially Frayz and the team at Skidmarques.

Very well organised, and the car felt much better on the way home.

Also, another thanks to Frayz for finding the problem with my car.
Lost all boost on the way up there, but within a minute or arriving Frayz was under my bonnet fault finding.... thank you for doing that mate.

Once again.... brilliant day, and good to chat to everyone.... both new faces and old.

As above. Great day out, the guys were top notch with the work and hospitality. My car drives so much better now.
Thanks Frayz for arranging this great day, oh and thanks for the ride along. The bomber is truly amazing and a total testament to your hard work and vision mate

Thankyou all for attending what turned out to be a great turnout for such a miserable wet day. Was my pleasure to organise and I think everyone got something out of the day, if not a better handling car, lots of information about how to get the best from your cars.
The bomber is absolutely caked in rain and salt now but well worth it.
It's great to have the club growing and really forming a superb bunch of people. New faces and at every event and great to see old ones too.
Massive thankyou on behalf of myself and all the ESOC to Damien and the team @ Skidmarques.
Superb day with fantastic service and hospitality. These guys have always made me feel welcome and today was no exception.

I've some photos of the day which I will post in due course.

Thanks everyone, you're what's making the ESOC great.
