E93 wheel alignment

[waynechai]

Anyone done wheel alignment for their e93 (or any other models)?
I did mine at NK garage, and was less than confident that a good job was done.
Firstly, I had to help choose which model my car is.
Then, when I drove back to check because wheel veer left, one of the reasons he quoted was that the tyre is over inflated. He use his gauge, and started releasing air from tyres.
I went to pump tyre after that. None of the tyres have same pressure.

Should I ask for refund?
Did it inky yesterday.

Thinking of having it redo elsewhere.

Any experience for e93 with any of the shops?

Re: E93 wheel alignment

What print out result?
I was not given any.

I went there today, after it was done yesterday.
He did not use the computer again.
He test drove it, go under the wheel, adjust a little.
Then adjust the pressure.
That's it.
Ask me to try again.

I am not sure I will not be wasting time going back there, and I am not keen to waste any more time on this.

Re: E93 wheel alignment

Tried to make appointment with Kenny.
He advised that the veering might not be caused by the alignment, and advised me against wasting money to do alignment again.

I guess I will go back to tha shop and have a discussion with the boss.
Also, get the tyre re balanced and rotated.

Re: E93 wheel alignment

Did it at mike's place eventually. Went back NK, but he was trying to check the tyre pressure.
So I gave up and left. Wasted my $70 there.
And Mike was saying that the alignment was out, before he started work on it.

It does seems like it.
He committed the cardinal crime of using air pressure to compensate for the veering, which makes me lose total confidence at his ability.

Nice guy, but business is business...
Will never go there again, that's for sure..

Re: E93 wheel alignment

yup....play with air pressure and assume problem solved...haha
i think u probably saw the Hunter system Mike is using, the printout and negative camber stuff etc.
big diff when u compare someone who knows his tools and what he is doing VS a pian jiak type.

I always take the previous printout to compare against current work done.
