Tony Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Remember you need to buy from the site to get the ( data/ before/ after support ) The only bummer is the OOF discount only applies at the wim station, all partner centres command the true fee of £95+ vat. This includes vehicle health check, the chassis image, front/ rear toe adjustment, castor adjustment via moving the subframe and front camber adjustment to "our" settings.

Yes, no worries, still cheaper than driving to you.

Please tell the internet world because this network is costing me a Lambo a week Its spreading. Ill provide feedback once ive been to a centre too. If I want some extra work doing too, is it best to book on here, then negotiate with them? I have some rear subframe bushes need installing 1st, but my health wont currently let me fit them, so want to get the centre to do em before the geometry.

Outside of the tyre/ geometry realm you are on your own. We cannot police additional work, which if you think about it is fair enough because at the end of the day the centre of choice is not ours. Nevertheless i would be watching passionately at the results, as said before i don't associate with any old crap so even if the work is outside our policed window i expect a minimal level of decorum.

adam_r Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Tony. Been looking at the blackboots site and it says you have a 'fitting' centre in waterlooville (Collison Motoring Service Ltd) Have they been to the course and are now 'approved' by you ? Reason being is that im needing some new tyres soon and im wanting to take it to a place i can trust... my last 'trusted' garage damaged my alloy powder coating, admitting they had done it but would not give me discount / or money to get it fixed . Im wanting to make sure the next place i go to will do a proper job of fitting the tyres AND a professional service for doing the geo. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 CMS have been approved in regard to interior operations and equipment but haven't been trained by us in respect of chassis calibration. Past geometry reports we pulled from the machine shows a good level of understanding and workmanship but they need to go another level.

adam_r Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 is there anywhere else around the south area that you have trained ? I would love to drive up to WIM to meet the guys and get my car done properly but its a fair drive for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
