MCook Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I am going to mission motorsport today for a quote on a 4 wheel balance and fitment of my 2 new compression arms.. What price should I be expecting, I don't want a repeat of my qwik fit experience either.. It would be mainly just a labour charge for the fitment of the arms. Quote
Grundy Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 About £10k. Mission are expensive. Quoted about £300 just to spray my front lip. Quote
-Bradders- Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Took me 3 hours to do my arms without a press. cant imagine it takes longer with a press tbh. and my local tyre shop charges £5 per wheel for balancing. Edited February 11, 2015 by -Bradders- Quote
Ekona Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 GET A QUOTE FIRST Why would someone not do that? FFS you're just asking for trouble! Quote

Did I not say 'I am going to mission motorsport today for a QUOTE' ! Just wanted an idea on a reasonable price for what I want done so I know they are not taking advantage of me... 3 Quote
Ekona Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You did, yes. Apologies, I just expected you to rush blindly into something again 2 Quote
Ekona Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Why are you going there then? Surely picking up a phone is quicker? Anyways, decent geo is about £100, then a couple of hours labour for the arms so I reckon that £200 wouldn't be miles off. 1 Quote

Grundy Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mission seem like a fancy jap place, but honestly for that work, you will probably find it cheaper at any indi garage. Just see what quote they give you. Although could you not just ask for the quote over the phone? As I can see what will happen is, you take your car there and just agree on the quote and get it done 1 Quote
-Bradders- Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 OP Are you going to update your signature every birthday? Maybe he likes to show off that he's just 19 and can afford a 350 at such a young age lol. 1 Quote

They recommended Mission, I promise, it will just be a quote. Quote

MCook Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 For anyone interested they quoted me £135 for balancing, arm installation and new wheel bearing installation. Also got a look around their spotless GTR Quote

It's just putting it in your sig could come across as being a bit big headed ... 1 Quote
jimboy2 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Are you only having the wheels balanced? Or are you going for a full alignment? Quote
Mikey Thompson Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 OP Are you going to update your signature every birthday? Why not, I am proud to not be driving in a fiesta or corsa like everyone else my age. ! I wouldn't say 'everyone' your age... Quote
MCook Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Are you only having the wheels balanced? Or are you going for a full alignment? Just having the wheels balanced, not sure they can do an alignment, but will be having one done soon after Quote
Ekona Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Surely the wheels were balanced when the tyres were fitted? Get an alignment while you're there, zero point putting new tyres on and then having them ruined because the car is dragging them one way. Quote
Toon Chris Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 That price looks ok. I've plenty of wheel bearing experience and some of them came off easily whilst others needed a damn good beating for an hour. Er, that sounded a lot dodgier than was intended. Quote
WhackyWill Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 4 wheel alignment on the Zed cost me £150, 4 wheel alignment on my 330ci cost £80. Quote
