As above, anybody used them for alignment/tracking?

Are they any good? Ta

Didn't use them for tracking but used them for servicing etc. Never had a problem. Seem competant and friendly. Will probably use them again.

They are very good. Have gone to them a few times and have found them excellent

Apparently the aligment/tracking machine they have is the best there is. Uses laser or something so gets it perfect.
Not sure the details of it but JohnCleary described it before in some other thread

I know some of the guys in there (friends) and can vouge that they know their stuff (Can't speak for the management but never heard any complaints)

They have a new tracking machine that gives a 3D image of the car and they make sure that EVERYTHING is spot on (ie. toe, camber, caster) - Any places i've had it done before only did toe which is only half the job.

No affiliation to the place apart from getting them to do a job before

I've used them for the last few years, a friend recommended them. I've found them to be uniquely competent and professional, both in the way the work on cars, and they way they run their business.
They have done regular services and big jobs (engine rebuild on V6 after timing belt failure), and I've never had an issue. (have also used then for alignment / wheel balacing etc)

Well I got them this morning. Got the laser alignment done. Results seem pretty good, and they seem like sound lads in there.

NCT tomorrow so if she passes I'll use them again;)

Tell ya one thing, they were pretty busy, so it's good to see that after the Tom Hogan announcment yesterday.

Oh, and for the record, they have moved, from Ballybane to across from the NCT centre now. Think the ph no. is still the same.

Mike...

they are very good always get my servicing done there

I've used them for going on five years I'd say, since they were in their original unit in Ballybaan (they've moved twice since). I think they're very good, their service seems very thorough (the car always comes back with things like seat belts checked, hand brake tightened etc.). They've done several major jobs for me including the head gasket and I've never had an issue with the work done. They charge €60 an hour for labour, don't know how that compares with other outfits round the place.

I asked to change the oil and fix the handbrake. I was surprised to see they had greased the hinges on the doors. Never asked for that. Good service.

Need to get my car tracked/aligned.

What's the name of this place, and roughly how much will it cost to get a corolla tracked?

Heard there was a good place out the Tuam road aswell - is this place near the NCT the best ya?


thanks.
