Default Other than revolution....

Looking to get a 4-wheel alignment done, following on from fitment of coilovers and polybushes. I was just wondering is there anywhere other than Revolution locally that people would recommend, from the Newcastle area.

Thanks in advance

Just go to a qwikfit with the hunter machines.

I've used Blyth a few times, I believe there is one in tynemouth and jesmond.

Never even thought of using them to be honest, its not a service I realized they did. What they like price/service wise?

The Kwikfit here has some kind of basic fee + front axle adjustment fee and a rear axle adjustment fee. All-in it was about £120 I think if you end up having all front and rear corners adjusted. Pricing may differ at opposite ends of the country though.

I took my car to Revolution before qwikfit bought their new machines. they worked on it for about 40mins straight and the steering Wheel was left off to one side. They claimed they couldn't correct the castor on the right side and that the bush was worn out. Then advised me it was a common fault! ( mugen bushes fitted 2 years previous!)

Just seemed like they were very understaffed and certainly spread themselves thin on any task other than fitting tryes.
