Wheel alignment at present

[apollo]

Anyone open at the moment to do a wheel alignment. Just changed over from my winter wheels and noticed my summer wheels have the cord showing on the very inside and rest of tyre still has around 5mm. Had them done by Ivan Kerr in carrick a few years ago when wheels and tyres where new so not sure if they were done correctly.

few years ago, you wouldn’t get a month or more out of a badly setup geo before the tyres are scrubbed off it.

A lot can happen in a few years, you could have some wear on the ball joints or anything.

Most tyre places are open, but aren't doing alignment as it's not essential.

Magowans Mallusk, I got 2 new tyres and alignment done on Friday

 

[RWL]

CTS in Comber are open & doing alignment

 

[Boydie]

Are Gilnahirk tyres open?

The Q5 badly needs done and now is the perfect time to get it done while its always at home

 

[DreamTheater]

Great place for part-worn tyres, and I always go there for both our cars tyres, but I got wheel alignment done there once and had to take it to Gilnahirk tyres to get sorted properly in the end.

Thanks guys, only a few miles from mallusk so magowans will do.

I have only done around 2-3k in that time tho.

 

[southsky sunrise]

Yes @Boydie gilnahurk is open 8-1

Need the rr done too will give them a poke

Just on the OP's original comment, I advise my customers to get their wheel alignment checked on a yearly basis or after ANY replacement of drive train components. Your wheel alignment will run out with the wear and tear of serviceable items.

[Lyons]

Need tyres fitted and alignment done this week myself.

 

[Boydie]

Ok, getting the Q5 back today/tomorrow from getting wheels refurbished. I said Gilnahirk above but anyone any other recommendations in East Belfast or happy enough with Gilnarhirk

 

[Meeky]

I got mine done 2 weeks ago with Gilnahirk and the alignment is still way off and worse lol so waiting until Ivan Kerrs in Bangor opens again. They said to me on the phone maybe this week or next. Still waiting

 

[Boydie]

Ok thanks - I will avoid. Used to go to central tyres off ormeau

Had it done before by Charles hurts on sydnam and never an issue with them tbh

I don't think half the places know how to use their equipment, I had the same problem with Ards tyres. They refunded my money when I showed them a print out of an alignment i had to get done a week later.

 

[Meeky]

100% agree mate. Been to Ards before and happened to me as well Hunter wheel alignment and other ones similar seem to be the only ones that actually work for me properly.

 

[Eager]

It’s part and parcel paying min wage or a few pence over it, very few care if it’s set right or not along with poor management to ensure good training on equipment use.
