Hi all,

Looking for options of 4 wheel alignment in Aberdeen. Got tyres fitted at Laws once and had alignment with mixed experiences.

Tried Clark Motorsport but they don't have a workshop for external work anymore.

Thanks

I got a 4-wheel alignment done a couple of years ago at Jim Reid in Kintore. The guys seemed to know what they were doing and transformed the handling for reasonable price. And I got a courtesy car while it was being done.

Did Jim Reid not take over the Clark Motorsport setup?

Thanks for the replies. Spoke to Jim Reid now and £108+VAT to just put it on the ramp and then hourly labour rate after that. Did say they were expesive compared to others but seems like in depth work

That website will find you places with a Hunter laser alignment system. There's also MB Garage Services near Ellon (http://www.mbgsms.co.uk), I've used them and Jim Reid several times and both know what they're doing. Jim Reid did take over the garage business of Clark Motorsport a number of years back, they're still good but they took on an ex-BMW dealer service manager who brought main dealer pricing with him smile

Edit to add - MB do also have a Hunter system, not sure why they're not listed there. They used to be Wallace Performance in Tullos.

That sounds OTT price wise,, no doubt does excellent work ,used Progrip in Larbet on a few occasions for around half that quote ..

I wouldn't trust Laws to check my tyre pressure. They are useless.

Most likely DC as I mentioned above will be half that

Looking for some 4 wheel alignment / wheel balancing in Aberdeen / Aberdeenshire. So far, DC, MB and Jim Reid are on the shortlist based on this thread and other forums. Anyone got recent feedback on any of these three?

Also, just found out that Dinnet Garage, Aboyne do the Hunter Hawkeye alignment - anyone used it?

Cheers
