I'm going to need to get the alignment on my car done when my next set of tyres goes on.

Anyone heard of these guys http://www.j-m-h.co.uk
Nice and local and probably know what they are doing ?

Anyone recommend anyone else near Cheshire/Manchester........

Nope - never heard of them!
Though if they have got the right gear just watch them until the settings are right! There is not a lot they can do to get it wrong so long as they know what you want!. That's what I did with my local guy and it was spot on after a bit of pressure from me
Test them - ask what settings they have for the S2000 and see what they come back with!
Are you going optimum or standard?

I had mine done at an MOT place and the Honda guy who had to fix it later said it couldn't be MORE out of shape than it was. I'd leave it to a Honda dealer mate. They didn't even charge me for sorting it.

My local honda dealer said they dont even do it themselves (not saying yours dont), and told me the garage they would take it to if asked them to do it. Also told me it would work out cheaper to take the car to this garage myself.

Yeah, my dealer pointed me to their other branch who had some super duper piece of equipment that the other branch couldn't afford.

I have to say that having the alignment laser checked on the S is one of the very best things you can have done on it to improve the handiling and all round feel.

Sorry Lee but I can't comment on the people you mention but your local stealership should be able to help.
