Wheel alignment recommendations in Sydney?

Hi

I took my BMW E70 X5 for service at the dealer last week, they advised me that the front wheel requires wheel alignment as there are uneven wear on the tyre.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a reputable shop for wheel alignment in Sydney? Prefer a shop that provides a "before" and "after" result?

Cheers
Leon

Heasman's** is very good. They do a lot of race cars too. They did my old race car.

Alternatively, your local tyre shop should be able to do this for you and print out a before and after of all values.

Leon, what are are you in?

I live in Miranda and was thinking to take it to East Coast Suspension at Taren Point.

I also need to get wheel alignment for my daily as my wife punctured the RFT on the 320d a couple of months ago, got it replaced and fixed and wheel alignments done at a local Bob Jane. Pretty dodgy work as the car still tends to pull one side

Don't get me started on Bob Janes crappy wheel alignments.

Go to a professional alignment/suspension shop.
After installing the H&R springs on my 1M, Peter from Advan referred me to Pedders suspension at Granville.
http://www.pedders.com.au/

Fantastic service and super professional. Con than owns the franchise owns several track cars and really knows his stuff.

He will give you a before and after printout of your cars specs and will ask what time of alignment you want, whether it's track or street setup.

Highly recommend.

I've used Spinning wheels a few times as they're fairly close for me. However on my last visit they scratched/scraped my car because they forgot to take the alignment thingy off the wheels.
