Tracking South West London?

Post Sun Dec 07, 2014 9:16 pm

Took delivery yesterday of 4 new Goodyears.. (Christmas present for the motor).. Going to get them fitted at Kwik fit or something along those lines.. but where's best to get the tracking done?

Everyone on here seems to be anti-kwik fit tracking, is there a reason for that?

Post Sun Dec 07, 2014 9:21 pm

Its generally to do with the people they employ, there are plenty of chimps out there.

Most kwik fits have proper 4 wheel aligners, everything is on a computer screen in front of them telling them what to do, which in theory shouldn't get wrong.

Ok can't go wrong with the 20 odd quid they charge then.. Let's just hope they don't ask for a one'r to fit the tyres!

Make sure only pay for adjustment to the front. Rear end is non adjustable.

Post Sun Dec 07, 2014 11:23 pm

Not bad and it does sound the business

You should knock a couple of holes in your scorpion.. That'll add a few decibels!

Arh man......such a shame about the zaust.

Yes i would drill some different size holes in different locations, then you can use bungs.

Simply remove the right bungs to give the sound you want

A bit like playing the recorder at school......remember ??

Could work well.

They wanted £127 for the wheel alignment, and £52 for the tyre fitting

Post Tue Dec 09, 2014 12:05 am

The wheel alignment is not £127 should be £60 or something !

Post Tue Dec 09, 2014 1:16 am

The alignment centre in perivale is the place I use. The guys there are spot on

Nope complete quote for fitting, balancing and tracking was £170 something.. when I asked him to break it down, that's what he came up with.. although he did say the tracking comes with a 6 month warranty so I can get it redone any time.
