As repeated many times in this thread, I can also recommend Simpson Motorsport. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else and haven't for 3+ years. Fortunately I only live 25mins from them and the road between is a cracker.

More pics of birds please.

He dropped the rear, no measuring, and then did the geo.

After he came back from the test drive, the short midget who drove it, I had noticed how he kicked open the doors on the other cars. So i made sure i stood by the car as he pulled in, and he almost kicked my door aswell, till he clocked me.

He then informed it was done. I looked around the car, and i clearly saw one side was higher than the other. I pointed this out.

So the car went back up the ramp. He started adjusting the height again. Taking each wheel off to do so, which is a complete waste of time, as Simpsons mechanics, just put their hands behind the wheel and adjust it.

Now the funniest part is, when it came to adjusting the front height, he refused to do. His excuse was that he didnt have the right tools for the PSS10, and blaimed me for not bringing mine. He had the PSS9 height adjust spanners, which he refused to use. Funny thing is, the next day, i used my mates pss9s spanner to adjust it.
A motorsport garage, with 1000s of tools, could not find a single tool to adjust the height. Bollox. The cunt just didnt want to do it.

So guess what, he has adjusted the rear again, which has probably f**ked up the geo now.

He then tried to charge me £350!!!! £150 for height adjustment, and £200 for geo. I told the twat, the height wasnt adjusted properly, and the geo is now messed up, because you didnt do height properly the first time round. I threw £200 on his table, and told him, he was lucky to even get that.

I said earlier, go to Simpsons, they charged me £190 for 5 hours work on my car. That included fitting the turner limiter kit and RTAB bushes. They refused to let me go, till they had my car perfect. And i can tell you, my car drives perfect now. Steering is dead straight too.
+1.....I had the Geo done there aswell & i witnessed a big pair of stilsons being used on my tie rod ends when the were a bit stiff.
white latex gloves on covered in the usual and straight onto the steering wheel.
Greasy hand marks all over the drivers door, all the spanners banging about on the inner wings, no provisions for keeping the car as is, apart from a dirty old mangled wing protector.

General attitude aswell, i went because people were raving about this crowd.

Its a shitehole of an old volvo garage and the yard is full of poor looking bangers of race cars..........never never again.
