Hunter wheel alignment - BMW
Discussion
Looking for a recommendation of a Hunter wheel alignment centre near Northants that can align my 5 series.
I've used a few garages in the past but they are hit and miss with how the car feels leaving the garage.
I've just had a set of new rubber fitted but the garage they were fitted at said the alignment was all in the green yet couldn't provide a printout due to a "broken printer" (ran out of time to bother doing the alignment basically).
Willing to travel too but I've already flagged Deutche tech in MK as my "if I have to travel" recommendation.

Ah saw this post on Northants Motorsports Facebook page the other night. Car looked very very nice considering its been dormant for so long! https://www.facebook.com/NorthamptonMotorsport/pos...
I had always thought the likes of northampton Motorsport to be too pricey and overkill for my needs on a 520d estate commuter. What sort of price am I am looking at with them nowadays?
I had thought string theory garage was next to caffeine and machine but looking online it appears I'm wrong... Then of course it's worth it 😅

String Theory used to be, but they're now in a bigger unit in Stratford and not too far off the M40. A full alignment by them was £240, so not cheap but they do a good job and having had a few rubbish experiences at c.£100 each, I'm happy to pay their prices knowing that it'll be good.I had always thought the likes of northampton Motorsport to be too pricey and overkill for my needs on a 520d estate commuter.

They charged me 3 hrs work @£90.00 per hr + vat from my point it was money well spent as they all of mine is adjustable, it was not just the tracking. ShoooRn said:

Thanks, i have owned the car since 2000, used it as a daily for 5 years, then took it off the road in 2005 to do the head gasket and some mods. Most of the parts were brought back then.
Life/ house move/ business move/ home workshop build and many other car projects always seamed to come 1st. I finally got the car out of storage and back home just before Covid (March 2020) and got stuck into it.
