Girlfriend Curbed wheels

[cjp2k]

Hi guys, on the way to pick up my mums car from the garage, my girlfriend gave me a lift in my A3, she decided to put it thru a gap not big enough for the car and hit the curb. she hit it side on, ie parallell with the curb at about 15mph. small mark on wheel but nothing "too bad", what are the chances of doing damage to the alignment/tracking etc?

Is it best to get it checked, audi quoted £170.00!!

Anywhere good around Teesside/Darlington area?

Cheers

Chris

i have been there my friend. lol
lent her the car and boom, came back with a chunk missing out the wheel. thank god it was the old a3!!! ha ha
but anyway, go to a normal tyre fitters (even kwikfit). they have all the equipment and will be sooo much cheaper, also haggle them.

peace...

i took mine to audi and bite the bullet on the cost

but mine hit the curb sideways when i was on ice and knocked all 4 wheels out

if its minor kwik fit will charge (last i checked) 27 quid

Cars been to local tyre place with full laser 4wheel alignment, the left side was slightly out and adjusted, cost £30.00

Car feels alot better now, thing may have been out for a while to be honest!

Can I ask where you took to get it done?

I hit a pot hole a while back and I'm sure there's something not straight.

North East tyre and exhaust in middlesbrough.

Teesside Audi quoted me silly prices,

Just make sure they select the correct car on their system, they had mine down as a A4!, Ended up going into the shop and making them select 8P 2006-onwards with sport chassis!
