Hi all, bit of a shameless plug here - i recently hit a pothole on my way to work badly enough to stop the car and check that the wheel and suspension was ok.
I booked in online with ATS as they were local to have the alignment checked, long story short it came out worse than it went in. Car went in just for it checking and correcting if needed - i came out with my sterring wheel angled to the right and feeling like it was crabbing down the road. Im also pretty sure that they selected the wrong model of clio on their computer.
To get this corrected i did a bit of googling and the same company across several forums kept getting recommended for up here in the North West- that is Drury Lane auto services near Manchester.
I was soon booked in and went, first impressions excellent especially with the single seater race car awaiting work and several performance vehicles. My car was soon booked in and being aligned on a 'hunter' system. The chap (cant remember his name) was really helpful,gave me a print out of before and after, went through camber, toe, thrust angle etc It also filled me with confidence that they had done work on clio cup racers - always a good sign. Car came out a lot better and after a hard day of driving fully testing it im tempted to say its better than when i first bought it.
So moral of the story, tracking and alignment get it done properly, and for North West people i recommend Drury Lane.
