Well done Tony. I know a lot of work and planning has gone into this and I know that with your attention to detail and hard work it will all come together.

I'm sure you'll face a few more hurdles along the way but I know with you attitude and quality control standards you'll be in control.

 

Geometry is a difficult topic so owners need to trust whoever is doing the work in advance, if the workmanship is pants most owners wouldn't know because the printout is nothing more than numbers.

Our network polices the end result so that the wim promises remains at the centres we provide, yes we will trip along the way and yes we will encounter problems, if it was easy everyone would be doing this but it's not.

And WIM were the only people who managed to sort out my MV6's handling issues and its appetite for tyres, despite several other companies trying and failing.

Thats why I am happy to personally recommend WIM.

Reasuring to see the steps taken to insure quality is tranfered to other branches, i know Micheldever have failed miserably to transfer thier info and (lesser) profesionalism to thier branches, esp. the franchise(?) in Slough which is round the corner from where i work, and is why i travel the extra time and distance to WIM.

 Experience of the industry generally will make people wary, reputation is all, but as said a massive step forward for customers like us who dont happen to live "fairly" near to Chesham.

Best of luck Tony, "get in there before some other bugger does" as my Dad always says.

I am a member on here but my Signum needs doing as well - is the lower price available for the Signum please.

STS Camberley is on the doorstep for me.

I'm booked in at STS Camberley for a new pair of tyres so will report back.

It will be but at the moment the Signum is incorrectly priced.

I personally was not impressed with Wheels In Motion and will not be revisiting I'm afraid.

I know everyone that posts on here about them says how brilliant they are but when I drove away my Steering Wheel was not straight. I did not notice this straight away only on the Motorway when driving straight, I had to be somewhere else and didn't have the time to go back.
It was not this Tony Bones people mentions who actually did my car though, so maybe this had something to do with it?

I was disappointed and expected it to be perfect

Must be a first, once on the ramp, they always make sure the wheel is dead centre, then clamp it in position before they did any work on mine  :-/

When I visited WIM I was quite happy with the work done, but a little surprised that more adjustments were not required.

The Camber and all manor of things had been set up by Kev and myself using crude methods (eye / spirit level) following new wishbones and components.

I was expecting WIM to have to do all manner of fine-tuning - when all they needed to adjust, was the tracking (toe!)

I am not saying they did a bad job - as it definately sorted out the tyre eating... I guess I was just a bit disappointed that everything else was already spot on.

The price of £80 was set - whether it needed one or 100 adjustments - it was just my luck it only needed the one 

I would personally go back 

[Goonybird]

Just phoned the tyre place in Wootton,Northampton recommended on the WIM/Blackboots website and they were clueless. Said they only did basic tracking.
So will be first choice tomorrow of Tyres Northampton who at least sounded as though they knew what needs doing.

I have managed to replicate the previous WIM camber settings 3 times now, using the socket as a feeler gauge between shock and rim method, and the operator has commented, "we wont be able to improve on that, its spot on" but there is no way i would trust it to be correct without cheacking, so would pay the bill and be happy the tyres where not scrubbed on the journey to Wim, piece of mind and a potential tyre bill saved.

Should also add, WIM have failed on every occassion to centre my steering wheel. But i'm happy with the set up otherwise, it now drives beutifully straight, with wider sc3's than those poxy Falken 912's.

Worrying, they are on the map but they are not on my list of centres, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Sorry to read your not happy. The Omega can be difficult with the steering position because of the collective play in the steering linkages, I can assure you the position is cosmetic albeit annoying, maybe when you are near us next you can pop in and let us correct the position.
