Default wheel alignment

i just got some springs for my car and did a wheel alignment aswell, however the car is now much worst than it was before (it now pulls to the left, whereas before it didnt pull either way). ive called up the place and told them and the guy was being a dick about it, but he said that it can be caused by the uneven wear of the tyres. ive done a wheel rotation already though and its still the same. just wondering if his excuse is really valid? he said to me 'at the end of the day if you want it put back the way it was then bring it in'.. thanks

Get a wheel alignment done at Wilkinson Suspension in Bayswater. It'll be the best $60-70 you'll spend.

I'm no expert but that doesn't seem right to me.
Where did you get it done?

yer I wouldn't go to any of those franchise places. I how-ever do get alot of work done at Bob Jane T-Marts in Balcatta, but only because I know the people there and have been going there for 7 years, and they know me and how I like things.

I would suggest John at Wheels World, I know he looks after a few cars on here, so he must be pretty good.

plus once your a regular customer they will look after you by sending you mail as to when your next alignment is due plus vouchers to get 10 bucks off and sometimes even half price wheel alignment..

doesnt get much better than that.

To add to what i said earlier though i think silent or silentkilla works at a tyre shop in Gosnells might be worth checking with him if you cant be bothered going all the way to Osbourne Park.

I;d goto wheels world everytime though, its worth the effort.

Wheels World is great and you get fantastic service but his prices have got to a ridiculous level and he's priced himself out of my business.

My last alignment cost $160... hmm... no thanks.
