Heyrick Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 So I took my Supra to the local garage who assured me they'd be able to do all four wheels/ camber etc etc. £30 later and they had only done the toe-in as they claimed they're computer program did not allow them to change the rest as it wasn't set up for the Supra. It measured everything and shows that it needs setting up all round. For reference my print out has "Beissbarth" on the top so unless the garage was being useless others should avoid this setup I guess? Question for those who've had this done successfully: what machine did they use (name on printout) then I could ask around to see what they're using.

Josh Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I've got a printout for when mine was done (before I had it) and it was done by Chemix Autocentres. No mention of machine name as far as I can see. Strange how they couldn't do it all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either didnt know what they were doing or they realised your adjustment bolts were seized and didnt want the hassle( they`re a pita to get out) I've got a printout for when mine was done (before I had it) and it was done by Chemix Autocentres. No mention of machine name as far as I can see. Strange how they couldn't do it all.. Chemix use a Hunter 811 DSP5/600 ,1 of the best machines in the trade apparently.

Scott Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The place didn't have a clue what they were doing mate. Either that or, as suggested, they didn't want the hassle of freeing off the adjusters. Think about it, if you can measure it and tell that it's out.... you can adjust it then measure it again...... repeat until within limits, it's common sense. Was £30 the agreed value for the full geo setup or was that just for the time put in on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyrick Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Seems that way Scott. They just kept saying something like the software didn't tell them what adjustments to do so couldn't do it and if they started messing about it would affect everything else. Common sense is in very short supply these days! £30 was standard for the toe-in I think - full camber etc. would have been a lot more but I didn't get a proper quote 1st.
