JohnA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The quickfit a few miles from me (st Paul Cray's road) can do a good job. Cheap, too. Just off M25J3 from you, not too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have one in Dartfford and just up the road in Erith, just wasnt sure if they were the best to atke it too or not !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I'm afraid the quality of workmanship will vary as to which Kwik fit you take it too. For my sins I work part time at one whilst re studying, best of luck. Watch them do it if you can. HTH Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I posted mine because it is not too far from you and I had mine done there too. Of course I was watching like a hawk, that goes without saying. Only a handful of KwikFits in the UK have the 4wheel-alignment hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John believe it or not I have witnessed "colleagues" just wire brush and spray with WD40 the track rod ends, and consider this "job done".

I believe it, that's why I watch like a hawk. On these machines you can see clearly the settings before and after, it's easier to do the job rather than muck about. Another joker 10yards from them (Q Tyres or something) wanted me to leave the car for test drives, only to do a single track angle. yeah right....

Take it out and thrash the s**t out of it they mean lol I think I will pop down to Kwick Fit then in the morning, thats the one on the bypass isnt it (St Pauls Cray Rd) !?!?! And ask to watch so i know what to look for lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You don't have to ask anything, you can watch from the parking area without entering their 'zone' Orpington bypass, that's it. First come first served it is, I went 08:30 first thing in the morning. Givem a ring first. (yell.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 ohhhh fill me with confidence why dont you lol what do you recomend then ??? Monkey, watch em and you should be OK. I'm sure they will have special interest in your car anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Just called the one in Orpington (Kwick fit) its gona be £49 for the check and one adjustment if needed or £74 for the maximum adjustment if needed on the 4 wheel - adjustment set up... is that good ????

JohnA Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 yep, that's it. Not bad prices. See if you can spray WD40 in all adjusters overnight. You don't want bits seized or breaking. In my case I asked him to leave something alone if it doesn't budge. The rear left camber was left a bit off, better than crippling the car methinks...
