Im getting my wheels aligned today after a misadventure on the highway, and wondering... who does good work? the Ulehs up greenacre way do a crap job, and they have no clue about the car... I was thinking ultratune?

In Canberra, Revells steering or Capital steering are the 2 places I go to. Bob Jane are also not too bad, but they charge more for less.

Ultratune ? some have trouble changing oil let alone w/a's......
Get to a Suspension specialist, they will always try to sell you something else but at least they understand camber/castor and toe adjustments.

dont know if you have any over your way, but i have always taken my cars to Tyrepower, they do a good job every time. i have had tyres and suspension fitted by them, they are great to deal with.

I work in Padstow at the moment and I believe that Bob Janes at Bankstown are pretty good. you need to make sure wherever you take it that they have the 4 wheel kind aligner not just the Fronts. Many times it isn't enough for just the front to be done?

Joe at Crescent Motorsport did mine previously ... and it was perfect.
Recently got mine done at BobJane .. and they screwed it up ... car is pulling to the left and crabbing ... not happy. When i get a chance I'll get Joe to do mine again (seeing as I managed pretty much 70,000km out of my last set of tyres ... and he was the only one who aligned my wheels for me.
