j3rk Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Does anybody here know if there is a place that can carry out allignment and geometry settings (preferably prodrive settings) around here? I usually head down to ELITE in rainham but wondered if there was a garage or tyre and wheel place nearer to walderslade. Let me know guys. Much appreciated.
granby Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Well it's not around here but i went to Mocom (North Weald) to have mine done, i've had it done at Elite & Xtreme before but when Mocom did it it's the best so far, might also be down to me having a ALK fitted as well
spannaz Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I'd be with Granby, Elite etc, i have tried various places in Kent over the years and yet to find people that have the right equipment but more importantly skilled staff that know what they are doing!

I had mine done at Elite. But dont assume they are more skilled than anywhere else, its still the same old teenage lads who act surly and disinterested when you go back and complain they have ripped out one of your abs sensors before protesting it was like that before they touched it. But the older generation of staff there i couldnt recommend highly enough.
quagmire Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I have always used Elite too, Never had any problems but to answer you question i don't know any other places..sorry :waving-santa:
granby Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Elite will normally just set it to the standard or Prodrive settings, with Zak at Mocom he will ask you what you want from the car and how you drive it and set it accordingly Edited October 31, 2008 by Granby
mikkers Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 How much do they charge? Elite was 90 odd quid, are mocom the same? And yes, it was to prodrive settings. P.S. presumably they set yours up to drive like a bus?

leebo77 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 P.S. presumably they set yours up to drive like a bus? A bendy one at that... the back is quicker than the front and regularly tries to overtake. LOL
j3rk Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Thanks for all the replies guys, will give a few of the suggestions made a call :waving-santa: I have heard TDI in thurrock do a geometry set up but never tried them. Edited October 31, 2008 by j3rk
BrianD Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Try Torque Developments at lakeside the can set up for prodrive settings...
HOL Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I have always used Elite. I let that F1 Garage near Toy'R Us do a car a few years back, and had to take it to Elite to fix the damage, Andy

I compared the price and service to tdi and tdi are a little cheaper. Tdi charge an hourly rate of 80 quid and that would include setting up the cambers including alignment if need be whilst elite charge per corner per camber to be adjusted plus charge for the allignment. I've booked in with tdi and am going to give them a try. I will let you guys know.
