NW Alignment Service - ongoing
NW Alignment Service
As you probably noticed we have tried to arrange an Alignment Day, but this has been hit by a number of issues, mostly people seem to need it doing at different dates.
It's also hard to find someone to take a lot of cars on a given day and have the correct equipment and expertise.
Therefore we've come to an agreement with Nigel Langs Garage in Bolton. This is a central location that has good feedback from members who have used the aligment service.
http://www.nigellangsgarage.co.uk/wheel_alignment.htm
There is an agreed club rate of £65 plus Vat and will include three sets of adjustsments and a decent amount of time. They won't charge us for every angle change like some places, but if a car has to go over the generous time limit they give he'll charge it at £10 per 15 mins, the lowest rate he can do.
To get this rate you need to book in directly with the garage :
Nigel Lang's Garage
164 Crook Street
Bolton
BL3 6AS
Tel: 01204 392995
You'll need to be a member to get this rate, and please tell him that you are a member of the Nissan 200sx Owners Club and you'd like the alignment at the agreed club rate.
The only downside is that we can't claim a £5 subsidy each as it's not an event, but hopefully the extra flexibility of this service will outweight that. Generally the garage would need a few days notice, but for a Saturday best to give about two weeks notice to book your place.
We have three waiting to use the service at the moment, he can fit two in this Sat 6th, and one on Friday 5th which I think is exactly what is needed. So the sooner you phone him the sooner your place is confirmed, you don't need to pay a deposit.
Please let others know what you think of the service

Yep, I've tried a good few places.
Two other good ones are obviously DCMS, but I've spoken to Graham and he is snowed under, and also Demon Tweeks, but they are quite far from some and also want us to get at least 7 or 8 for a club day.
Other tuners we know and like don't do the alignment on site, so that has an effect on price. All in all I think it should be a good deal for both sides. As soon as I get some new suspension I'll be going myself

Well took the car in to NL, picked her up last night and although I have not driven it much at the moment, it feels much better . Had good chat with peter before hand (nice chap) also asked him to have a look see if he could see any other issues which he was happy to do. In the end I have came away happy and would recommend them in the future

What price did you pay in the end Rob, if you don't mind me asking? Did they play with your ride height?
-
Guest
No not at all, had a front tie rod that was stuck on and i had them adjust the rear ride hight, came in at £118.00 in the end so £20 more than i though it would be but it has transformed my car. Having said that me and a mate had set the alignment up by eye and done a piss poor job at that LOL so anything was going to be better.

I spent nearly 3 hours in there on Tuesday, I can only echo what others have said now I have tried this service myself.
The car was setup spot on, feels really good, and they are friendly, professional and genuine enthusiasts as well.
I like the extra touch's you'd not normally notice, like extending the arms past the required point so they can grease the threads to keep them moving freely over time. Sign of good quality workmanship
