Anyone recommend anywhere?

I'm after a fast road alignment with plenty of caster for my GT86.

Since clcm went downhill I've been to pro grip in Larbert. It's a little bit of a drive but the man knows his stuff.

Nick - do you think the guy would be able to fit his machine to 10" wheels?

even struggling to find places than can cope with 13"

What's driven your conclusion on CLCM? No axe to grind, just interested as I've used them a couple of times, and also tried Pro-Grip once. Neither could loosen a seized adjustor on my previous S4. But now I have an ISF with winter and summer tyres for the same wheels, I'll be changing more frequently and may go for alignment each time (given the quality of our roads).

I'm not sure, I'd give him a call to check first.

The guy who ran clcm (Willie?) packed in a little while back. I believe he trained up a couple of younger guys and they now run the place.

I'm sure they're nice guys but the feedback I've heard is that it's just not the same. The key to the success of the place was the experience and knowledge of that one man.

To be fair, the alignment I had done at CLCM on the S4 was rechecked by ProGrip and needed readjusting. The time gap was measured in days between the visits. I'm sure they'd both argue, but I reckon only one of them could have been right.
