If it were me I'd be tempted to ask for some guarantee that the wheel alignment is not going to scrub another £400 worth of tyres.
It will not be the first time I have heard of some super alignment machine to be giving faulty readings and the mechanic adjusting wheel alignment away from where it should be!  |
It was more convenient for me to drop the car off before they closed, leaving the car with them over night anyways, so it made sense in my mind to ask them to give the adjustable components a dose of penetrating fluid.
Whether or not it did, everything's now adjusted up nicely & the P4S's look very nice.
As for the rear being so far out I know that I haven't slid the wheel into anything, as for the Mrs Chappers...who knows & I've learnt that ignorance is bliss when it comes to how she drives the 35i
It is possible that it wasn't set up that well on the last alignment as I can't find the receipt with the geo results & she picked the car up, the receipt could be anywhere
Anyways I wasn't charged for the geo because it had done so few miles since the last one.
