Hi guys, i have searched but found nothing recent, im looking for someone to do a front and rear wheel alignment on my gtr, who is good? im in the northern suburbs but will travel if its worth it. Im not after the cheapest i want the best, someone that knows what they are doing.

After a recent experience i will NEVER use PEDDERS SALISBURY ever again.

Any help appreciated

thanks

Two places I've used in the past are Bridgestone on Gouger Street, and Blackwood Tyrepower.

Both listened to what I wanted rather than alligned to what they wanted.

Bridgestone also adjusted my camber kit and castor rods to the specs I wanted. It did cost more, but I was happy to pay for a result I was happy with. This was a few years ago, so not sure if the same people still run them.

Adelaide radial tyre in holden hill is the goods dude

This

Stay away from tyre power parafeild took 3 hours to allign my gtst with adjustable arms took exhaust off n wheels off n on ect very slow and shitty allignment

Tyrepower Blackwood if you're in the south, Adelaide Radial Tyre if you're in the north - been to both and both have done excellent alignments

-D

+1 for Adelaide Radial. They are a great bunch, always walked away satisfied.

+1 for SA Motorsport Tyres on Magill Rd.

very professional, know their stuff regarding alignment settings, and do a lot of motorsports setups. they went to the effort of spending time aligning very exactly; the most accurate alignment ive ever had done, perfect to the hundredth of degree/mm (!) (coilovers, camber arms and toe arms).

reasonably priced, friendly and provide good advice.

I have used Bob Jane's on Main North Road in prospect. They have always done good by me and very friendly staff who listen and inform you of what is happening. Clint is the guy there that does wheel alignments and he is a top bloke and very good at it :D

X2 for clint, will talk your ear off but damn good guy.

ray the owner is also a champ.

Thanks for all input guys, much appreciated. Car ended up getting a not so good report card, couldnt be aligned properly due to slightly bent arms or knuckles all round, so gotta find another lot of knuckles, this also gives me the excuse to buy all new adjustable arms :yes:

where did you go Danny?

I wanted to go to adelaide radial tyre after all the responses here, but i couldnt get in on the only day i could manage to get time off work. pedders at ridgehaven near tea tree plaza were recommended to me by a few other people, and was convenient for me so i tried there.. He apparently works on some drift cars and gets a few jdm vehicles through there. He seemed to know what he was talking about, explained things really well and charged me bugger all because it couldnt be aligned properly. I was happy with the service even though it was a bad result.

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
