I wish I had the capital (and time) to set up my own business here.

Of this I'm confident: Quality workmanship and happy customers would be paramount.
OOF discounts obviously!
 

Anyone wanna bankroll me?

I still feel that there must be decent garages out there that are capable of learning the set-up and earning themselves a few quid with the equipment they have

There are decent places. All those I have experienced have been independents. ATS / Thick-Fit type places are always a waste of time IME.

You an normally tell, by talking to the guy for 30 seconds about what you want, whether it's going to be worth bothering.

Tony at WIM has the added advantage that he knows the Omega very well, in addition to understanding how suspension systems operate and how that relates to the driving experience.

Very different to the "it's all in the green, mate" approach.

My sentiments exactly Kev!
That's my thinking on undertaking the long trek to Chesham.

Yes red and green is absaoutely pants if one side is at the start of the green and other at end of green it would be miles out its because they cant read their own kit they are happy to take your money but give a service thats crap and yes ATS around here is exactly the same absolute brown stuff

My car is much better now after a trip to Fleet Fit in Loughborough (they spent 1.5 hours on it). The readings they got were different to the readings at Challenger, my only guess is that Challenger didn't get their equipment calibrated and treated it badly.

I took my car to Chemix in Halesowen, and to be honest felt confident in the work that was done and the car was certainly better.

I shoudl add that fleet fit also invested heavily in a dedicated ramp which has floating plates for the wheels at the rear and standard disc type setup at the front.
