Wheel alignment - Mayo

    My car is pulling to the left while driving so guessing I need to get the wheels aligned.

    Any recommendations for the best place in Mayo, preferably Castlebar area, to go to?

    Roughly how much should I be looking at?

    Wheel alignment won't generally cause a car to pull to one side.

    Did you replace tyres lately or hit any bad bumps or potholes?

    it would cause in most cases,then again alot depends on model/car some are really tight you can do 100km/h and wheels will stay straight others cars will have slight pull to the left, interesting theory to that ive heard is its in case driver falls asleep etc, that car would move out of the road - then again most likely bunk one, but would make some sense.

    back on topic it would cost about 40e+/- 10e in most places, once they get it up they would be able to tell you straight away since wear would be quite visible, so would account getting tires into cost as well,since nct would pick on that.

    Check tyre pressure first, then check if LHS brakes are not seized/sticky (checking if they're hot is enough).

    Not sure of the price, but there are tyrefitters beside the Topaz and Skoda garage on the main road into Castlebar opposite the Govt buildings.

    That's Togher tyres.
    Expensive and average quality when it comes to wheel alignment. Wouldn't recommend.
