Where is a mini friendly (i.e can do 10" wheels) in Brisbane? I just found out that the place i'm getting my tyres from can't do em |

We should make a sticky for this in the How To forum - it is a question that comes up quite regularly. Sorry, I can only help with Sydney ones!! |

Give M and R Auto's a ring , somewhere near Redcliffe (old shop was Redcliffe and they didn't move far) , they're a mini specialist and if they don't do them themselves they should know who does . |

In Sydney, Ivan at Mini Spares and Repairs has a 'pre digital' wheel alignment tool. He did mine with 10's the other day and it is pretty impressive. |

I'm getting mine done next week at Fulcrum Suspensions at Moorooka, convenient, reasonably priced and Mini friendly. However, for your side of town, talk to Wayne or Dwayne at MR Automotive. They are at 182 Anzac Avenue, Redcliffe, just down the road from Kippa Ring shopping centre. Phone them on 3284 6688. cheers |

I can recommend Lou at Kelvin Grove steering (17 bishop st Kelvin Grove ph. 33567034) He is more than likely the most knowledgable wheel alignment specialist in brisbane easily!!, He uses a old school machine, none of the bulls*** computer stuff that the tyre joints baffle you with. His list of clients that regularly require his services are the QLD police service, V8 supercar race engineers personal cars etc etc. He owned and modified Cooper 'S' back in his youth so he knows all the tricks, but you might need to get in quick as he is ready to retire any day now!! He won't try and sell you another set of tyres or nitrogen or other crap that the franchise places need to do to keep sales on the go, but he will be able to give you the honest truth about your wheel alignment and correct it. |
