4WS wheel alignment in Glos/Avon/Wiltshire?

Post by Mattbigwood » Thu Oct 03, 2013 12:15 pm

I need to get a couple of new front tyres (current ones are wearing on the inside edges) and wondered if anyone can recommend a tyre depot that can do 4WS alignment in Gloucestershire/ South Glos or North Wilts areas?

Search for a 4 wheel alignment specialist in your area. Remember you will need a 4WS locking pin to get the alignment done properly.

Paid my first visit to PAW in Fairford today and had wheel alignment and camber checked and adjusted. Glad I did, rather than finding a Kwikfit or similar that could do it.

Kwikfit wouldn't be able to do it. Period. But you have gone to one of the best places. People who actually know what they are doing are few and far between.

Good work. I'd say that PAW was your best bet for your location. There are a couple in Bristol I'd trust - only because they are closer than Rich though. ;)

Yes they certainly do, and Rich knew what to do with camber and toe in/out on my lowered car. Highly recommended.
