I have nothing but praise for the lads at ProSport. I've had the full 4 wheel alignment on my scooby there a few times plus I've started using them for all my servicing cos they put all the Subaru dealerships I've been to round here to shame. Be warned if you ask for the courtesy car though - I had a Ford Ka the other week!!!!

No connections by the way, just a very happy customer.

hixton, your kidding right? Is that the same as the proper 4 wheel alignment to fast road/track spec as you would get at a proper subaru garage?

The problem with the "Kwik Fit" style places ,is that they invest in the equipment ,but not in staff to use it.

Kwik Fit will only offer 'Tracking'. This is not four wheel alignment.
