As said, I can only recommend on my own personal experiences. My MV6 has been there 5 or 6 times, tractor twice, and the Elite once. I've been delighted each time, and the OOF price is more competitive than other places around here.

I guess I do have that 'comfort blanket' that WIM isn't that far from here if something's not right - its around 120m round trip.


DLK - if you still have the printouts, can you email to me, I'd love to see why you get a left pull, as for me, they always adjust castor to slightly pull right to overcome road camber...


When I phoned Tony at WIM I had both the Printout from WIM and also the Printout I had just had done from Langs in front of me, they were loads different. This is what I was/am waiting for a phone call from him for!! to explain and perhaps a refund as the work wasn't obviously done properly.. so cost me well over double of what it should, plus time  >:(
Anyway as not hearing I have thrown the lot away >:(
Shame, would have been good to look at to see what was wrong :y

Ideally find a geometry centre with decent 4 wheel geo equipment (Hunter generally) and operators who know what they are doing. WIM and others will generally be happy to advise on the optimal settings if it's to another country / non-direct competitor.
