Default Any good places in the northwest???

Need a few things looking at on the car I've bought, tracking being one of them. Any suggestions? I'm over the water from Liverpool, cheers.

Guessing not just round the corner but quality over convenience I say....CAMS performance in Darwen.......as an owner over several Subaru's over the last 12 years ish I would say Brian is as knowledgable.....but also reasonably priced as anywhere round here.

Have to say though he gets a specialist, local to him, to do his tracking (also very good I hear).


Give Brian a ring 01254 68 999 4

Prosport are good....Not wanting to offend anyone but I would suggest they have a different pricing structure from CAMS

There must be loads of laser trackers for front and rear around Liverpool!? Just call a few different places around there.

Wouldn't use Demontweeks if they were next door. I'm sure there are places local that do laser tracking but finding people who know how to do it properly is harder to find. I don't mind travelling to a specialist, more local the better obviously. Cheers for the help though guys

I've used them when I had clios and found them to be average at best. I used to go to a company called blink motorsport or Grinspeed in Preston. The former mostly do mx5's, Elise's etc and the latter specialise in hondas, both of which are very good. Oh and between the staff at tweeks they haven't got a personality

Just use them then? It's only tracking, so just set up to what ever settings you specify? Doesn't matter too much who does it providing you know how you want it setting up?

Aye true. Just thought maybe someone who specialise might be a safer bet.

Try these mate, I've never personally used them, nearly did once but had to cancel due to work. They are 5 mins from the tunnel.

Hey up mate. Congrats on the purchase :-) I have used both Prosport & cams. Both very good & knowledgeable. Although Prosport is closer to me I still use cams. As mentioned previously Bri certainly knows his stuff & his prices are very reasonable.
Ps. Do you want to sell me your brakes?! ;-)

Cheers mate will look into cams as they seem to have a good rep. Referance the brakes tbh I'm not that impressed, hoping new pads will kick them into life

That's surprising, I thought they'd be very good stoppers. Think a decent set of pads will rectify it. All the best.

Silverstone Auto Centre, out near Chester way....Mazda approved specialist, always got loads of Rx7's in there, along with Scoobys and Evos. They also have a rolling road, havent been up that way in a while, but when I do go see my folks I always get some work done by them. Well priced, super friendly and sort out an issues if they arise. Cant recommend them enough.

I think Richgreenscooby is one of the owners
