I've rung a few tyres places and none of them want to touch my E90 when it comes to the tracking and have all said I should go to BMW. Is this a common thing? Local dealer wants £180+vat, kiwi fit are willing to do it but should I trust them?!?

Anywhere with a hunter machine will do !

Don't go to kwik fit they haven't got a clue how to use hunter! Try find a local specialist or performance garage

Does anyone know of a garage with a hunter machine in the Preston area? I'm getting 2 new tyres first thing on Saturday and I don't fancy destroying them due to my tracking being out. Cheers

I hate going for tracking with a passion.

I went to my local place and when i had to tell them what tyre pressures should be and that they'd selected M3 on the machine....i probably should have walked out!

Drives just as crap half hour later and £70 lighter!

You should take it back and get your money back then, why do people put up with shoddy service?

previously used Quiksave in Lytham, St Annes for my old S4, i told them which settings to put in (not OEM) and they did the job (had to leave the car though, they were "too busy" to do while i waited).

they charge "per adjustment" rather than a flat fee, on the S4, there were 4 adjustments possible, which i think is similar to the E90. at the time (2 years ago, it was £30 per adjustment)

i had it checked when i got home at my usual Alignment Only (they only do alignment, no repairs or tyres or anything) garage in Edinburgh, and right enough they had set it up as requested.
