Just had some coilovers fitted to my BMW M135i and suspension should be now settled

Wanting to get all 4 wheels aligned and looking for a reputable company to get it done by?

Please share your experiences..

I have done some research and Track Torque and Redline Racing come highly recommended but they have quaoted me around £200+ to get all 4 wheelsdone which includes corner weighting which seems a bit expensive?

I don't track the car and only use it for road use so perhaps corner weighting is perhaps OTT for what I need?

Give AK Automotive a call (01207 544071). Corner weighting is pointless for a road car. Just get them to check the ride heights and do a full alignment (Hunter equipment). Certainly won't cost you anywhere near £200 and they a risky know what they're doing. biggrin

Whereabouts are AK?

Teesdale Tyres in Thornaby are good, they use good equipment and they did a great job on my old Seat Ibiza when a few other garages couldn't get it right. They're near the old TFM building, next door to the Alfa/Saab garage.

AK are in Rowlands Gill near Newcastle so a bit of travel..

You're the send person that have mentioned that Teesdale are good so might give them a try..

Just thought I'd mention that the car drives perfectly.. so steering to left or right but thought always good to get alignment checked out before tyres get worn unevenly

Another vote for Teesdale Tyres. Sorted the M3 earlier in the year. Know what they are doing with a friendly service and didn't cost much.

Just had mine done at Teesdale and they have done a good job... The rear toe needed adjusting both sides.. for £33 can't complain!

One thing I didn't appreciate though was the mechanic who drove my car into the garage deciding to show off and rev the nuts of my car!! Had the whole staff in the garage crowding round my car but thought I'd give him his enjoyment this time around... Must admit it did sound good with my M Performance exhaust biggrin

Thanks all
