Fodder Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Anyone got any recommendagtions for places with Hunter alignment systems in Chester/Wrexham area? I've had to replace all 4 tyres yesterday, the rears were worn evenly and i had actually booked it in for them however the fronts had excessive uneven wear on the inner edge both sides almsot like someone had taken a lathe to them - the rest of the tyre was wearing evenly and had plenty of meat left. The fitter suspected camber and said i need to put it on a Hunter system - he doesnt have one and suggested Demon Tweeks (the fitter is a small independant and owned/run by a good friends father in law). I've used Demon's for other stuff in the past and if i could i'd sooner use someone else as they can be hit and miss; I have also used Buckley Tyre services a couple of years back but wasnt sure if they knew the cars too well as well as not getting any printouts - that said if others have had better experience since i will give them another try The other local one is QR Sport in Tattenhall who seem to be Audi specialists but again I'd like to hear if people have any experience taking their Z there. I did do a search on here and I also looked at http://www.alignmycar.co.uk and apart from the three i've mentioned there doesnt seem to be anyone reasonably local... oh and i chose to totally dismiss Meseyside Car Hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think Demon Tweeks near Wrexham do http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yedah I realise Demon's do this however as mentioned in my post I've had mixed experience with their workshop so I was looking for somewhere else locally. To be fair they've been ok work wise the couple of occassions i've used them (small minor jobs - new wheels etc) but i'e found their service times haphazard whereby they seem to book more jobs than they're capable for at the same time and for a 30 minute job which i booked in at lunchtime i ended up being there 3 hours with a very unhappy manager back at work which i know is usual for garages but when you explicitly tell them you're short on time and using up your lunch hour you would think they would either accomodate or tell you it's not possible rather than book you in and then have you "trapped" but if you can tell me theyve improved i'll feel more confortable. http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/ lists by town Hunter systems but apart from Buckley Tyre services and Demon's I have no experience of any of them. If folks do I'd be itnerested to know if they've used their services. I suspect i will probably have to use Demon Tweeks though as I'd like to resolve this in the next couple of days. I rarely drive the car in the week at the minute so I want it sorted for the weekend. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Didn't read your post properly! I used Demon for my MR2 roadster. They fittes K&N iGen2 induction, Eibach springs, Janspeed exhaust and wheels/tyres. Never had an issue and always pleased with service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey no worries, I appreciate the response.. to be honest i didnt really expect anyone to as anyone in the area would probably have recommended them anyway. Well i've bitten the bullet and booked in with them and in fairness this time they have said due to the day I want that the times do slip so cant say fairer than that. Looking forward to getting it set up and having a drive over the hills this weekend - weather permitting of course I will feed back on how i got on.

Fodder Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ok bit of an update now I'm on a PC. I booked in for 10:30 on Staurday morning; I ahd a few things to do in town (Chester) first thing which didnt take me too long and I ended up at Demon Tweeks 30 minutes early. They had the car on the ramps and on the system within 10 minutes, made their adjustments and I had the bill in my hand by 10:40. The rears were out by quite a bit tracking only. Now the only concern I have is the fact that my fronts ahd such severe wear... I'd wish i'd taken a picture. When I asked them if the rears would affect the front in such a way the answer was it could be the cause but no definate answer. I'll keep an eye on the wear but i have a sneaky feeling i could be buying bushes/arms etc in a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
