Be really handy if Ats can do it , one 5 minutes away from
us coofer's  :)
Try some of the independents, certainly the place near the A5/A43 roundabout in Towcester has the right gear (but not used, so no idea if they have the skill).

Chesham isn't that far away in reality. Yes, it costs more than 99p, but they understand what the settings do, and the impacts or each adjustment.  Fleet in Loughborough is recommended by Marks DTM Calib, though I've never used them.

Having been through hell and back in the early days of Omega ownership to get the bugger to handle correctly, and not to chew tyres constantly, believe me, using a set of mongrels who don't understand what they are doing (but just follow instructions, without understanding) is a complete waste of money, and tyres.

Damn , will have to save up then  :( Ive no issues atm but i'll probably try Loughborough when needed and see if there's any discount for mentioning oof  :D

Autostop's Porth (in the Rhondda Valley) branch set mine to WIM's specs over a year ago and I've had no issues with their work :y

Needed alignment only (after track rod end change) and also tweeked one of the rears without me asking. Camber and caster angles were bang on. Usually buy our tyres there too ;)

Have a gander at: http://www.autostopwales.co.uk/

Whilst they also have a branch close to M4 J36 at Bridgend, I personally prefer to use their Porth branch, which is about 15 minutes from M4 J34.
Rob Hughes is da man to speak with! ;)

Nice to see that no-ones getting the aggro I got for using a local guy for full geo, and to the OOF (WIMs) figures.   :o
