Default East London - Tracking

I will be fitting a Set of Tein Springs soon, and need to get my tracking re-done...

Anyone local in the London Area recommended for Tracking?

Depends where you are in London, I would suggest Elite in Rainham only about 30mins from the city.

Elite.. Buch of To$$ Pots..!

Afew years back i took a set of Original 19" AC Type 3 Alloys (from my M5) to them to have tyres fitted...and they managed to snap the Alloy valve in the wheel and said we take no responsibilty for customer wheels..that was a £900 wheel ruined...but thats done and dusted with...

So ...anyone else...i needed the fast road tracking done, (as previously by API) but they arelittle too far from me..)

Mocom sounds Good...i think its Zak? is that right...

I did try to contact him when i got my Scooby to have the roll bars etc installed...but they proveed little difficult to get hold of...and no return calls...

But will try them again...

When you getting yours done? how much is the tracking..?

thanks

Thats it Zak, yeah he is a bit tricky to get hold of sometimes, but if you leave a message he or his wife generally do call back. It's about £80 all in for the geometry settings. Should be having mine done on Friday if I can get my coilovers fitted by then.

oddly i've had no problem getting called back, but emailing has been a big let down. sorry to go off topic, but like you say sam, it must have lost him business along the line.

like a lot of guys on here i've been very pleased with the level of service, but did wonder if he might get a bit too big too quickly. the guy works like a loon and there's only so much one guy can do!

hope you get sorted

Got my Tein S-Techs supplied and fitted at Elite too, as well as alignment and tracking etc with Prodrive settings

Good bunch down there, and great waiting area with the comfy sofas and the cafe for a bacon sarnie.

but im sure if they destroyed your wheel in the process and took no responsibility you would think otherwise...


EVERYONE PLEASE NO MORE ELITE... I dont like them and dont really care if you all have hd a good experience with them..because i have not!
