There was a place mentioned recently in Bolton. The member in question seemed quite pleased with the work done. I forget who it was but I am sure someone will be along shortly to advise :y

I know what you mean, Im in Chester (but have done the trip twice cos it is worth it)

Buckley Tyres have the same gear as Tony down at WIM, and if you get the right person, they will set the geometry to your request.

iirc the main thing is camber at 1 degree 10 mins  :y

How long did it take you to get there? Do you think Tony a wim would tell Buckley the settings?

Tony is normally helpful, trouble with buckley is I have had mixed results depending who you see.

time before last I gave them the measurements I want, I had to wait inside, and the ignored me and set to 'in the green'  >:(

last time ( a week ago after replacing a track rod end) they updated the computer with my measurements, and let me watch.

it is a long way, but there and back in a day is very easily acheived.

1st time I went was day 1 for an oof meet there, day 2 was to have a car set up, and new tyres.

after that I went back a couple of months later for tyres and geometry on the other car too.
