it will take them longer than 5 mins to set the thing up

i would say about half an hour max depending how busy the garage is

you serious guys

theres a place i always go to get my tracking done (a good friend of mine)

drive in (keep the engine running with steering wheel straight)

put the laser sticks on and look how much its out

get under the car and adjust the track control arms

job done

only reason if it will take longer is:

if there busy or slow at there job

obviously he had done the job properly because i could see with my own to eyes that the laser gauge lined up fine and that i had no inner/outer tyre where in a year..

as ive said only reason it would take longer is if there busy or just slow..

im not even joking, 5minutes im in and out..

10minutes max if we are having a chat while hes doing it..

its a very good little business he has..

if you went to chemix etc then you would be there a lot longer because they faff and charge around £40 for tracking..

When I got mine done, took them 5 minutes to do mine, I won't go there again though, they left the wheel bolts half undone...

still, a garage should be able to mate a wheel to the hub properly so when they use the gun, it tightens properly. Fucking numptys

Tracking would only take five minutes where as a full geo takes longer to set up and do 45 minutes to an hour.
