I've had good workmanship and reasonable pricing from 2 in your area- Shelvin at Premier Tyres in Lincoln Road (behind Washworld) is pretty good, with late-model gear. Also- Davy Tyres in Central Park Drive, behind Repco, worth a try. Both have done a good job on my cars, although this is MY experience, I'd never be so silly as to guarantee the same for anybody else!

this guy here is good, he does a lot of wheel alignments for race cars
it's all very well having the latest modern gear (computerized machine) but if a monkey is using it, i have found the wheel alignment can be worse than what it was before they 'fixed' it

I'm of the opinion that you need an experienced mechanic not a tyre fitter with a one day "course" under his belt to set up your cars suspension! My preferance would be The Wairau Wheel Alignment Centre in Wairau rd on the Shore, not a big drive from Westgate with the new motorway. I've been using them for over 12 years to set up the race cars suspension and am happy to give Merv and his team a 100% recomendation.

totally agree still not happy with the way my bighorn handles the road after its alignment

they are very good. Sometimes it's just about applying logic than going by the workshop manual. Especially with custom cars.
Good advice

I have an older car. Even though I live near Westgate, I take the motorway to Newton Road to Andy Harper. Never had a problem.

Mullins - Avondale.
I used to drive to Silverdale to have it done (Personal Trusted Friend), these guys (Mullins) have saved me mileage, time and gas.

a bit out of your way but I use Herb Morgans in Onehunga & just had a wheel alignment done in my 'coon (she was a bit 'toey' & had a shimmy at some speeds) & now she 's good as gold
