Tracking around swindon?

Rich1988 · 17 Nov 2009 at 22:40

As title my tracking is pretty badly out, I am replacing my front bushes and track rod ends this weekend as well so am looking for somewhere to get the tracking done, can anyone reccomend any chains or any particular garage?

will most garages do tracking? (never had a cars tracking done before) and roughly how much should it cost?
Cheers!

Imperial Tyres in Elgin have a 4 wheel laser alignment setup. I've had mine done there before, and I have heard good things about them. Not cheap though.

They always seem to be very busy there, though last time I went in for some tyres I waited 20 minutes to be served and eventually walked out.

Bell tyres in old town did the tracking for me when I had 2 front tyres put on after a puncture. Wasn't as precise as Imperial will probably do it (bell don't have laser alignment afaik) but it was good enough for the price and stopped the steering wheel juddering between 60-80mph so I couldn't complain for £30.

Never had any issues with ATS (I think) on cheney manor industrial estate near the petrol station. They've always been friendly too!

I have used Imperial tyres, had no choice at the time my car was to low for them to do it normally at bell so took it to Imperial.

Was a bit pricey but its pretty fancy stuff! Just give them a ring before hand to book it in doesn't take very long.

sounds about right, I only want 2 wheel alignment and I cant argue with £30 Ill phone around and get some quote today.

I *think* Bathwick Unit 2, The Iso Trade Centre, Hobley Dr, Swindon SN3 4NS do laser tracking. 01793 822 260‎. But I could well be wrong.

How about kennet tyres in marlborough? I'm fairly sure they do laser alignment. Worth a phone call.

Just had them laser aligned by the guys in the same industrial estate, Bassett Tyres was nice and quick and only Cost £22, Bonus!

Another vote for imperial here, best place to get it done imo.

I've always used Imprerial tyres, they are very good, they are expensive for four wheel alighnment but the car always runs true afterwards, and can also tell you a lot more than just tracking, normally it's £65.
