Hey guys,
Need to get a wheel alignment on my R36 wagon. Want a good place in brisbane to have a go rather than just your plane jane tyre place as i have had issues on previous cars. Any one know of a good place that really knows what they are doing with a good price? I've also asked the question in the wheels and suspension section but thought that i would throw the question in here as well. Thanks.

Go to Ricks Wheel Alignments on the northside in Bowen Hills. He does an awesome job and knows how to deal with Euros. Recommended by our resident Brissy mechanic, Jmac, and I have always had a good experience when i've been there.Originally Posted by v8snerlo

Fulcrum are good. Accurate Suspension are good

You never mentioned price in your original post. You asked for somewhere good. I doubt either of the BNE places I mentioned will be <$100.
The 2 places i use in Sydney charge between $100-$150 for a 4-wheel thrust alignment & do a great job. Your basically paying for 2 wheel alignments plus years & years of operator experience & if the machine is a good one they've paid about $60k for it.
$88 is about roght for a dealership but keep in mind that wheel alignments aren't their bread & butter, so the alignment machine may not be as well calibrated as you'd hope & they probably rotate the operators through the machine to fulfill their training obligations, so they'll be strictly adhering to manufacturers specs which may be out of date or incorrect.
