4 Wheel Laser Alignment in Harrow, Middlesex or Edgeware
Can anyone recommend where I can get this done? Am sure someone from the Middlesex crew must have had theirs checked at some point.
Might try Northway Tyres if no-one recommends anywhere else.
Cheers.

Would be interested to know as £50 is quite a difference.

There's a place in Park Royal that does it for around £70. Will try and get the details for you, but it could take me a couple of days.

Power Engineering are definately the best around this area for this sort of thing. My car was done there after having coilovers fitted. I was there 2 weeks ago for an engine oil, gearbox oil and rear diff oil change. They do a very good job and know exactly what they are doing when it comes to Subarus.
The cost varies depending on how much your settings are out and how long it takes them to put it right. They change in half hour segments. For 4 wheel alignment including tracking and camber adjustment i was only charged £60! The most you will get charged is £120.
I'll be there again when my new softer springs arrive from Demon Tweeks!

I will give them a shout tomorrow. Have just bought some second hand coilovers so may get them to fit them at the same time along with my new wheels!
Cheers.

I'm getting alittle bit of tramlining under heavy breaking and have also noticed that the inside edge of the drivers side front tyre is wearing. Would i be right in assuming i need the car realigned. I'll be having ARB front and rear with drop links fitted soon, so presume it would be best to wait and have it done after these are fitted?
...and forgive my ignorance...buts whats the difference between a £25 laser realignment of the tracking at ATS and a £60 or more set up at PE?

As for a £25 laser alignment that's the cheapest i've ever seen. Even other tyre places round my way like Northways and another garage in Queensbury whose name i cant remember charge a minimum of around £50. Your price must just be for front wheel tracking, not lining them up with the rears..

Not convinced about PE. Charged £120 but didn't produce a printout of the results. When asked gave me figures which said there was more -ve on the back than the front although I admit it feels OK on the road. Feltham Tyres in Hayes quote £70 for 4 wheels (track and camber).

Sorry Homer, will make that call tomorrow and post details.
When I went to PE they quoted either 1hr or 2hrs to do the job. I ended up getting charged 2 hours (£120). Prob the most respected outfit for this work is Power Station in Gloucestershire. For a similar price you can get them to do the geometry AND their price includes the bumpsteer mod, if I remember correctly.
I'm having coilovers put on my MY00 and will be using the guys my scoob mechanic recommends for the geometry as their price sounds good to me and they're nearby in Park Royal.
