Can anyone reccomend a good place in South Wales to get a 4 wheel alignment done, steering geometry, and road force balancing done to a car?

Something kinda like this Wheels in Motion / Black Boots.....

I saw this thread below, and it looks like people are big fans of Avia Engineering (in Newport)?

Does anyone know if Avia has a road force balancer at their place?

I see that A & A does, so I might just go there......

Silly question, but can 4 wheel alignment be carried out on any car?

My Focus is awfully twitchy and I'm get some odd tyre wear.

Shame he can't spell Porsche. What are his rates for Geo setups?

I've heard very good things about Avia and the lady I spoke too was very knowledgeable too.

I've used Avia Autos (in Bridgend) and they were absolutely brilliant.
Mechanic was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and really seems to enjoy what he does.
Sorted out my front wheels when another "well known chain" completely messed them up. Wheel wobble completely disappeared.

Price was really good too.

Thoroughly recommended driving

Try Windaway tyres in Cardiff. I have a Porsche Carrera 4S and use them for alignment and such. I was very happy with them.
