used these guys myself and it was a good job although it was 4 years ago! Someone was telling me Hursts have the most up to date equipment but im sure there twice the price of anywhere else.
However, if you are talking about setting the cars geometry settings after suspension changes then that is a different question. |

Are you just talking about simple wheel alignment? anywhere with decent equipment should be able to do it. No big deal.

Well got the four wheel alignment done today...Twice...???:wonder: First went to Magowen tyres in mallusk explained my case car eight weeks old etc steering wheel off centre to the left.. they checked it out and said it was 2.5 mill out and went about the job.. got the car back and it was no different apart from the tyres being over inflated to the point of exploding.. I found them to be very f**king unprofessional..:razz: Being so pissed off i rang charles hurst on boucher road and got a booking for an hour later left in the car found them to be very friendly and informative and they did a top class job.. the bloke said the settings were all over the shop with the car was driving sideways like a crab..:nono: ..Now my steering wheel is perfectly aligned and my car feels top notch..:luxhello: So take a fools advice and go to charlie hursts if you want proper wheel alignment done..:luvlove:
