Anyone used Farmers at Maidencraig for this?
Anyone recommended other than place at Sighthill?

I've booked the Tuscan into these guys at Broxburn for the start of Nov.
Heard good things.

Been told by a few that CLCM Sighthill ain't what it used to be.

I'd agree about CLCM. No prior-situation experience, but my later experience was that they struggled to do the alignment on my Audi S4 when there was an adjuster stuck. Took it out to Falkirk (can't remember the name of the place), and they took their time, corrected some figures and spent a good while using induction heating to try and loosen off the joint that needed help.

Thirded! Visited him a few months back and gave me a really detailed overview of what he was checking and what the results were.

Are progrip willing to do non factory spec alignment again yet?

I run more camber, castor and toe out than factory settings on my track clio and a couple of years ago they were only willing to put it back to standard.

What about HQ in Dalgety Bay? They done the Golf for me. You know my views on CLCM since the old boy left but HQ have always been spot on. Not too far for you either and reasonable price.

Hes a lovely guy but I wouldnt rate him. I had to go back 3 times for mine and i still wasn't happy. twice the steering wheel was off centre which is basic of the basic.

Good to hear.

I'm in need of inner and outer steering arms and then full geometry so considering Car Craft as it's just across the bridge.
