I emailled Zac, he's booking from the end of October now.
Full alignment is only £70 (unless of course summit it siezed) - Impressive huh?

Tbh unless you have coilovers that need setting up any old grease monkey can do standard alignment, in fact they do
. Supertyres in Maldon or Elites are fine, and if you ask nicely someone will offer you fast road settings to ask for
If you need it doing properly (coilovers) Zen still do alignment and APi also or closer to home you have

Fiestaboy is a good source of information if you need something a little closer to MSOC territory.

Erm
Both front tyres are heavily worn on the outside edges, so I thought I'd start with the wheels actually on the car first..............

Zak, very sorry to hear about the loss of your sister, don't know if it was common knowledge with this circle, but I was not aware. My condolences.

More than one chris on this forum and as I don't even know you I wouldn't direct such a comment.
But if and when I do get to know you then expect the same level of banter that everyone else gets involved with.
The reason for my comment was due to Milamber (Chris) having 22" alloys on his scoob.
Back on topic now:
Zak, very sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family.

That's a shame. If it applies to alignment I want to book it in and be there within a couple of days as I don't know exactly when I'll be doing the work.

John, give Zak a call he might be able to fit you in somewhere for an alignment.

I used Elite in Rainham a few years ago and was pretty unimpressed tbh, plan on using Mocom next time.
