I FOUND A PLACE TO GET 4WS TRACKING!!!!

Post by Vti Steve » Fri Mar 29, 2013 7:20 pm

0208 363 8000
Brayley Honda in Enfield.
EN1 3WX

Ask for a guy called Jeff.

This guy knows Hondas!!!!!

They have all the facilities to tracking 4WS Ludes.

I've been going to that dealership (Not a Stealership ) for about 3 years now, with various Hondas and he has always sorted things out.

I booked an appointment a few weeks ago to get the tracking done.

I explained to him that I needed tracking on my BB8 and he knew exactly what I was talking about but they hadn't done a 4WS tracking for ages.

After finding the pin and having a refresher on it, he told me to come down.


I arrived down there today and Jeff let me come around to the garage to see what they have.

The alignment machine has just been calibrated and is really good.

They have got the Locking pin ( the proper one with the part number engraved on it) and they done it straight away.

He did the toe, camber and the rest of the angles.

My car is like a new motor now!!!!

Anyone who wants 4WS done, ask for Jeff, NOBODY ELSE, and mention Steve with the black prelude.

He will reduce the price for customers who want the tracking done and mention me and the owners club.

He knows me pretty well after spending a few quid there over 3 years!!! Lol!!!

Anyone who goes there, please leave some feedback on here.

Thanks 8-)

my friends at autospeed in chippenham, wiltshire, have a winalign tracking system.

bloody impressive bit of kit.
drive car on to a floor level scissor ramp, set the car up and release the ramp platform to allow the platform that the wheels are sat on twist and rotate with the adjustment.

gives you a read out like this..

plus they do 4ws but you need to bring a pin. :roll:

Always good to know mate :-)

But if someone needs tracking urgent and can't get/hasn't got the pin, Honda Enfield can sort ya out.

No I'm not on commission

Not even looked bud. Was something I was considering having done mind as mine has obviously ben lowered, but I very much doubt the previous owner had the alignment done.

Good call Steve. I'll probably be taking a trip up there in the next couple of months once I've finished my suspension work. 2 other places I've taken it to previously had all the 4 wheel alignment laser kit on the big ramp machine thingy, but neither of them got it quite right.

What sort of cost are we looking at after a discount from Jeff?
