Title: WIM  too far!!!!!!!!!
Post by: bigall on 12 May 2008, 16:03:13

need to get my car geometry checked and set up correctly as it eating my front tyres.
WIM I know are the experts :y :y :y on Omegas - a little too far for me  :'(
Does anyone know of  a true four wheel alignment centre in the meseyside , lancs area comparable to WIM?

Is it worth/possible to add member recomended and trusted wheel geometry sites to the OOF map.

Or even create a second map for Trade card accepting dealerships, Wheel geomtry places.  Basically any where that requires a vist rather than mail order.  But maintained  in a way that the icons go on after say 5 recomendations.

Thanks for info about centre in Oldham. Will try them when I'm mobile (not car - medical this time )  If WIM  recommend them then good enough for me.
However a free paper carried an ad about this place http://www.4wheelalignment.co.uk/

local to me 5 miles - again will contact them and see what they know about Omegas  (Note they use Hunter DSP 600.....)
Will report back when Ive made contact.

Thanks for all assistance

They seem to have a vague idea from their website!! My only concern is that they claim to adjust to the manufacturers published tolerances whereas WIM adjust to optimum position for the car/wear etc (from what I've heard)
