I have problems with inner edge tyre wear on my Enyaq. I need to find a tyre depot that can be trusted to do a 4 wheel alignment in or around Oxford. I understand that Hunter is the machine of choice, bearing in mind that it is only as good as the guy using it.

I have been quoted £450.00 by Marshall Skoda in Oxford.

Who do others use?

@chriskelland What was wrong with the Dealers offer of it reduced to £150 +vat?   Other than the rip off full cost!

 

Did you not ask them where they were putting your car or they were finding someone that knows how to set up and make any adjustment?

 

I would stick with them and then you do have comeback if they mess up the alignment.

Bear in mind you’ll need an ADAS calibration after the wheel alignment, so use somebody who can do both. 
 

Helpful note for any members further north, have an alignment then use www.eastyorkshireadas.co.uk for the ADAS calibration

Can I ask why that is necessary? My layman's mind thinks that if the car is tracking straight, assistance systems should be in spec?

The calibration is based off of the wheel alignment. What one workshop says is correct won't necessarily be the same as what another workshop settles on, as their equipment gives them a tolerance. As long as they're within tolerance, they'll often leave it at that

The ADAS sensors also have a tolerance before they'll throw a wobbler, so whilst it may "work" without a calibration you won't necessarily be getting the best possible performance from your assist systems 

Useful to know. Thanks.
