I've recently picked up a Honda 1.8 VTEC as a runaround and have noticed a slight tendency to pull to the left - I'm pretty sure that it is not just road camber although the car has quite heavy self centering which exaggerates the problem. The car is a low mileage example with no evidence of damage and only a couple of very minor srapes on the wheels.

Can anyone recommend a company that can do a decent alignment check. I would imagine that a Honda dealer would just check the tracking and send me on my way. I don't trust the likes of Quick Fit even for that!

Thanks for any help

Thumbs up

Try swapping your wheels side to side first, or front to rear if they're directional, it could be tyre problem.

Good luck

Feltham Tyres near Heathrow are pretty good and have the full laser guided geometry gear.
