4 wheel alignment

[dimitar.tuntov.5]

Hi guys i will change my rear springs on my quattro sunday so i will need 4 wheel drive tracking !
Can you give me your advice where is te best place in Kent - Maidstone area?
Formula one , Red oak, Kwick fit or some others ?
What is the normal price for this as i ask - for 45 up 90 Gbp ?
Thanks in advance !

I wouldn't touch a Kwik fit or formula one place for a line up personally. There is always usually a specialist place that will do a much better job.

As above, go to a reputable company for a geometric alignment/4 wheel alignment. It's not a long job and if done properly they will tell you how far out it was (if any) and if any of your shockers are showing signs of weakness. If done right then it's worth £150.

Formula One use the Hunter machine as well and the man who i talk to said they are one of the Best .... Because of the machine is the best !

Otherwise i use to buy a set of Vredestein from Elite in Romford ... May use them but i'm afraid can i drive mh car from Maidstone to Romford before traking ? Is that no problem for 30 miles ?
Cheers

30miles should be fine mate, got my tracking done at local VW dealer

....... That's not always the case.. I have had my quattro on two hunter machines (yes they are good) in Surrey / Hampshire and neither "technicians" got the alignment correct...... Third "technician" eventually got It somewhere near in the end... :-/
I find knowledge and ability always outweigh what tools are used.

BM Sport in Bexleyheath have a Hunter machine, and are a bit closer to Maidstone than Elite. I live in Bexleyheath, and work in Docklands.

I got my new tyres fitted at Elite during my lunch hour, but didn't have time to get the four-wheel alignment done at the same time. BM Sport did it the next day, and the results were excellent. Click here for their website

Paddock Wood to Bexleyheath is what, 20 miles at the most? Should be fine.

Thanks a lot to everyone! I just change the springs yesterday! It was a big queue on Dartford - for Elit Romford so i try Formula one Maidstone!
The guy who done the tracking - he 109% know what he has to do! Hunter machine and working superb! I'm so happy from it's work!

£89.50 it was the price which is fair!
Again thanks to all
