Agree with David - I think it was the same bloke, but he turned up in a Vauxhall people carrier thing to align my car. The idiot tried to tell me that the wheels were not suitable for the car (genuine Prodrive wheels!), that my headlights dipped in the wrong direction because the arrow on the headlight cover pointed one way (every car on the road is like it...) and that my wishbone was out by a few mm, so I needed another one at 150 quid plus hours of labour.

I got it all checked by Tyres Northampton when passing one day. The "expert" was talking utter bollocks and seemed to be trying to get more money out of me.

This was at Swillington autocare, but the people who do the setup are "mobile experts" who are used all over Leeds apparently. Avoid them like the plague. IMHO, they couldn't find their **** with both hands and a map, let alone set up Imprezas.

To be fair, they did set up a mate's evo, and he was quite satisfied.

I'd take the car to TSL, as they apparently have a good set-up rig and know what an Impreza is.

Cheers,
NIck.

I had my MY02 done at Macs Garage in Ilkley, they did a good job at a resonable price.
