wheel alignment
Discussion
hi guys, rarely get to come on here now unfortunatley. still driving that bloody civic. looking at a celica gt4 or perhaps an mr2 turbo in the near future. prolly a mk2 16v golf in the meantime though.
anyway the real point of my post is to ask if anyone knows where i can get wheel alignment done? needs to be as cheap as possible! i've had my tracking done a few times and it is still pulling itself out all the time. possibly a camber issue i think, or a broken wishbone! i dunno. everywhere seems to charge £80+ - is this normal?

If I need my wheel alignment setting up properly, or the cars' for that matter, I take them to Jeff Fowkes in Ibstock: www.fowkes-auto.com/homepage.htm
Its a bit of a trek but they have a brilliant laser system and they know how to use it.
They have an additional monitor mounted in the waiting room/shop so you can see the readings and the alterations made.
Don't know what they charge but I don't remember it being anywhere near £80.00

Tyres Northants (01604 588599) are the daddies for 4-wheel laser alignment (camber, castor, setback etc).
About £80, but they'll give you a nice before and after printout of their work.
I take every car I buy there as my first stop.

yeah took my golf there, top notch service but they charged me £85+VAT(£105!!!) for the privelige. cash i don't really have, specially right before selling the car. it does need doing pretty badly though.
I will give jeff fowkes a ring and find out prices
Matt172 took his to Northampton Motorsport- its local to you jspesh, but I dont recall where 
he had the same problem, it was always pulling to the left quite severley, had tyres tracked constantly, once 3 times in one week, he ended up at that place and they suggested it was camber, he had it adjusted and all was fine after that
