    It is a pretty simple job for a garage but, unless you have the proper equipment, pretty impossible for you. Best you can hope to do at home is a fairly close "guess".

    Where would you get it done for €40? Advance Pitstop quoted me €65 today.

    Looking for a place in South Dublin to track my cars wheels that someone here could vouch for as doing a good job for a fair price.

    Cheers
    :D

    most I've ever paid for tracking was 50 but I'm in Carlow. Sorry. Cheapest was 35.

    65 is taking the piss tbh

    Chances are Advance will only do toe too

    I paid €40 couple of weeks ago and the guys ended up spending 1.5 hours getting everything PERFECT ie. Camber / Caster / Toe

    Garage had just bought a new machine that does a full 3D image of the car or something - Saw it myself and it looks impressive

    Car drives totally different now - like it should.

    I had it brought to another place before (well known tre centre in Galway City), was charged €40 and all the cnuts did was adjust the toe

    PM me if you want the name of the garage i'd recommend - It's in east Galway City though

    Dave McCann tyres in Blanch are regarded as being very competent - not Southside I know but its just off the M50 & you'll be back to civilisation before darkness falls :D
    Lots of reports of bad experiences with the big name chains; one numpty gave me my car back with the steering wheel angled to 4 o'clock (as opposed to 6).
