Yeap 4 wheel alignment and geometry set-up is the same thing, ACE is in High St, Newbridge, Newport, Gwent NP11 4GU Tel: 01495 244555 or 07866736878, Andy is quite hard to get hold of as he is always very busy, he's on holiday till next week but rhys is in the workshop.

Can't remember what it cost

If you want it done properly try A&A Tyre services in Cardiff. - they have two 50k+ alignment bays and its a nice set-up. Last time I was up at ACE all they had was a camber guage.

Well worth a look. They took 20 mins to get my car set properly on the ramps only to tell me there was no charge as the car was spot on – not many places are that honest

Just back from A&A tyre services - some top facilities there.

Got 2 new front 225/45/17 F1 Asymmetrics inc fitting etc and then they did a geometry check. Turns out it was fine so no charge for the check!

Recommended by me, plus the F1 Asymmetrics were £102 each fitted.

Ian,

PS supply a printed set for each car after setting. They all differ slightly, bush wear, suspension type and ride height all effect the settings. One size don't fit all sadly!

Regards

Ian

I've still got my print outs from when they fitted my ASTs - not sure if they will be of much use though
