Quite a big bill
Lots of time waiting
Your response indicates unhappiness with your experience. Care to elaborate?
Not unhappy, the car felt great afterwards. They did a great job.
However, the equipment they use isn't special and is used elsewhere at a fraction of the cost.
It wasn't until I took my GTR for a service at a specialist garage, when I went to pick it up the chap just mentioned that he also checked and adjusted the alignment. That car was transformed too, drove arrow straight and I was well pleased, but it was all part of the service, so no eye watering bill.
If I wanted to get a track specific alignment done with some particular characteristics, then sure, I'll use CG, they certainly know their onions. But for normal road alignment where I just want it to drive straight and neutral, a normal setup by a competent person is more than adequate for my needs.
If you've had bad alignment elsewhere, he's worth the money.
I've recently changed the suspension, so I'm due a full alignment, if I can't get it right, I'll definitely go back.
But honestly, I had the same feeling driving that GTR away as I did when driving the Porsche after alignment, except one was £650 invoice, the other was a description in a line item. I just couldn't help wondering why I paid the £650. Maybe I'll find out and go back, then I'll know for sure if he was worth it. You've got to admit, it's pricey!
