4 wheel alignment in Vaud?

[Gruber]

We've just arrived in Nyon, from London, ahead of my wife starting a job out here on Thursday. We've picked up a nice 5 series estate as our family runabout, but it has a slight pull to the right and a wheel wobble at 100-ish kph. I'd like to get the wheels properly balanced and the alignment checked.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get this done please?

I dont know the area but Pneu Egger are like the Kwikfit of CH. Good service, ok prices (for CH).
If you bought from a garage you should get them to do it however as no Swiss would accept a less than perfect car from a garage, which somewhat explains the high second hand prices.

In my experience Swiss garages are terrible at balancing wheels - always had to take them back (main dealer BMW and landrover).

I do t understand why as it is a simple job

Only way they get it right is if you stand there next to them and make them do it properly

Thanks for the advice chaps.

The closest Egger is in Lausanne so I'll get it booked in there.

Being new to this Swiss malarky, can I just check... is it illegal to indicate on roundabouts here?

Swiss simply dont understand roundabouts. It is however different to UK in that you only indicate (right) when leaving. Most of the time however you sit waiting to join a roundabout because many people simply don't bother to indicate at all, leaving you guessing if they are leaving or going round.
Worst offenders drive all the way round on the outside right lane !
Drives me mad (pun intended)

Not just me then!

People seem very patient with each other on the road though. I've seen very little evidence of agressive driving, horn honking or that sort of thing. Much more easy going than London!

Hope it all goes well mate - would advise to take it for a thorough test afterwards

Think its because they do so many quick changes for winter - it tends to get rushed.
