Can anyone recommend anywhere in Edinburgh that can check and adjust four wheel geometry properly?
Thanks in advance.

Wasn't/Isn't there a place in Sighthill that does 4-wheel laser alignment??
Do Falkland (or Star) do the Bumpsteer mod as well?

MikT,
Car Scan's no longer in business, I'm told. Kwik-Fit next door bought their alignment gear but don't know how to work it. Went there today but they can't do my car because it's not in their computer

According to Willie, he'll happily set up your car with any settings you provide him with. He said the books he has show the standard settings (which are likely to be geared towards even tyre wear and better fuel economy), but that car club members' information is more likely to be suited to how you want the car to drive.
