Anyone in perth have a place where they get a wheel alignment done right?

Had it done to the Polo and it still pulling big time to the left, Ive done the checks on the tyre pressures and etc.

Thanks in advance :)

yeah get her serviced there, but dont think they are open any time soon, got a 3000km drive coming up on the 5th haha.

I went to Bob Janes, they made it worse, I didnt wanna argue with them after a very warm day.

...i would have suggested Bob Jane or something similar...hmmm...dare i say - dealership or as i like to call them, the Stealership :)

Might be expensive in comparison but with a 3000km drive on your hands it might be a must

Interesting tho that she is pulling like that...has it ever had a bingle with a curb/rock/small animal on that wheel?

A1 Automotive in Maddington has done around 4 sets of tyres for me and has always done a great job fitting them and i go back for alignment/rebalances too.

9493 3464 (and not too far from where you live0

I've also used Bill Lee in Ossy Park, he's exceptional but maybe a bit far from you

LOL, nothing happened. Just thinking some reverse psychology.

If a mate refers you, you expect to be looked after (maybe even on price). So if andy gives you a price (and a nod and a wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?), then you think its a good one, but he could just quote you more, knowing that you think its a good onej:

(note andy is a holden fan, so try not to bag them in front of him LOL, I can see the pure hatred when he works on my ford LOL

I need a wheel & tire place that isnt ****! Halp plz :frown:

WHEELS WORLD
4 Carbon Crt Osborne Park WA 6017
ph: [08] 9244 2277

Their main clientele is the barbagello mob, alot of porsches and plenty of motorsport setup. Bob & John know their stuff backwards. They do my golf and have it handling pretty darn well. They will also gladly install KW coilovers if you ask them :biggrin:

EDIT: Ok didnt see that you'd already made a booking elsewhere, but if it doesnt work out for you then consider WW, even if it is a hike!
