FCM Wheel Alignemnt SW area/Bristol

Post by hopz121 » Thu Apr 09, 2015 3:56 pm

Well my zed was not driving great after new tyres, a hunter alignment, new RTAB bushes & new RCB bushes. Ii started to give up hope but hate being defeated so thought I would try for 1 last time. The issues started when I had the hunter alignment done and had the new tyres fitted so I thought i would give the alignment one more go before giving up!

Phoned around a few places nearby but wasn’t getting a good feeling about any of them, then I did some research and the below company appeared a few times on M3 forums so I phoned them up.
I spoke to a guy called Lee he is a 1 man band but straight away I could tell he knew what he was doing and didn’t just have the kit like some outfits do, I got the car booked in and he spent 2 hours setting it up correctly to tweaked settings which we agreed. The car now drives amazingly no twitchiness, no pulling side to side on a straight road and it feels great when pushing on. Totally different to how it felt after the hunter alignment I had done in December!

Really nice chap, reasonable costs and knew exactly what he was doing.

Anyone looking for alignment in the SW I would recommend him.

Hope this helps someone

Was it less than £95? Sounds good, I'll bookmark this page for when I need it doing.

It was yea,

I paid £80 but he did all adjustments needed and was working on the car for a solid 2 hours!

He showed me everything he was doing and did the job perfectly and not a rushed bodge job like the previous place before did.

Feels amazing now the difference is night and day!
