davidwort 0 Posted February 27, 2006 When you say not cheap???? Should I start saving my pennies? How low is your car? conventional alignment kit hangs over the wheels and can be a problem on really low cars, not many places have the kit to do a corrado that's 60mm or lower than standard. You could drive up to Stealth , north of Daventry at Southam and they'll use their expensive VW kit to do the job very accurately, but you're looking at 75 quid plus I think. Kwik fit etc, should do basic 4 wheel alignment for around 30 quid, which is fine for most cars. The independant garage I use is 'John Spademan's - Motor Engineers', tel. 262446, in Stony Stratford, but them I'm biased as my Dad works there :) - they got mine perfect though on 40mm lower eibach springs.

Dec 1 Posted February 27, 2006 :lol: :lol: ....it's not that bad really! They come well recommended and they did a good job on mine! Cost me £47 two years ago to get the camber and alignment set. Which is prob a bit more than a cheap Kwik-fit alignment. But I figured I was better off getting the job done properly :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks for that guys! I was having an offline chat with Bally, he recommended John Spademan as well. I have it booked in for a service on Friday as well, they said they will take a look to see if it needs doing and then advise. Out of curiousity I rung VW, they wanted £170 + VAT for tracking/camber!

ardandy 0 Posted February 27, 2006 My local one has just quoted me £154 (not sure about the VAT?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted February 27, 2006 WOW!!!.....STS suddenly seem very cheap :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 27, 2006 My local one has just quoted me £154 (not sure about the VAT?) I wonder if that's before or after they've realised how long they'll struggle to get the siezed track rods adjusted, they'll probaly add another 2 hrs labour to your bill then.

ardandy 0 Posted February 27, 2006 £76 for the printout, then that again for adjustment if it needs it. Standard charge for VW's apparently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
