I've taken my Legnums to Jax, Bridgestone Tyre Centres, & also Pedders.

Haven't had any dramas with any of them.

Heasman steering in Sydenham, they do awesome alignments

Can't you just take it anywhere? I haven't really noticed much difference between shops to be honest. I ask for certain specs, and they just do it

I would just take it to wherever and give them a copy of the specs on the forum...

Paul, where in NSW are you?

As Steve says, Heasman are very good but often quite busy.

For a good bang for your buck option, try Jax in Liverpool. From memory, it was around $60 for a full alignment and camber settings etc. The boys there seem to take a lot more care and attention than your usual chain wheel shop.

Then there's BT Motorsports in Smithfield and Road and Race at Rydalemere. Peter at RR has lots of street and race experience but it won't be Bob Jane alignment pricing.

If they take care and if they have good equipment, they do a good job, if they have equipment that hasn't been checked for a while or they are a bit quick.... Either you have been lucky and all have done well or you haven't had a good one to notice the difference between good and bad.

Last time I took a car to heasmans it took then 2 hours to do a wheel alignment toe front and rear and camber on the front. And the guy there does wheel alignments and nothing else, it's not like he doesn't know what he is doing....

I have had issues with wheel balancing also and I have to say Jax penrith have been good for balancing, haven't had an alignment done there though but they take time with balancing to get it right so.... Hopefully Liverpool are just as good.

My VR4 hasn't been to Heasmans yet (they're a PITA for me to get to) but it will be and yeah they are often busy, I normally book it in for a day for an alignment, I'm sure there are others around that do a good job but I know Heasman will do a great job and I don't bother with trying others (probably to the detriment of the VR4 in that it hasn't had an alignment since I got it)

Well there you go, i'll be cautious next time!

Ricol in sydney does a pretty good job and they deal with alot of track and hotted up cars.

Could just be I attract crappy alignments and balances!

I had my purple legnum done by Beaurepaires Pymble x2 car was not aligned properly either time, still steered left. Then tried Jax Pymble same thing. Thought the car need steering fixing so took it to MEEK to be told they hadn't touched anything on the front LHS by either shop. So you do need to be carefull where you take them

 

[king_panther]

Hence why I like to stay around & watch what they do. I'm always suspicious whether they do anything as well, plus I cringe thinking of them trying to jack up the Super.

I keep my eye out for vouchers, $29 wheel alignments hellll yeeah
Car seems to go straight when Im holding the steering wheel at least

 

[Guest]

Ricol in sydney does a pretty good job and they deal with alot of track and hotted up cars.

Had bad experience with ricol in the past with my old vr4.
Spoke to jax livo they said they can do it no worries.

 

[PMPVR4]

Jdmvr4 - dude how does what I said about Ricol have anything to do with gosford jax :-\

Rick and Colin at Ricol did a good job on mine but my mates still waiting for parts, just depends on what your cars having done to the service you get.

Got 4 new tyres & balance/alignment for Grandpa there. No complaints here.
