ended up at an old garage on Vic rd that had no worries at all!

thanks for the input.

Matt

i was really upset/shocked im a usual fan at Mark and Wallings tyres just at west ryde there..... they made me wait an hour and a half (i was in a wheel alignment que...) then they come in, "sorry mate, our clamps dont fit, we cant do it, have a good day"

me-"where else can i go?"

a few up north parra and drummoyne (complete opposite directions...)

but im glad its finally done! feels much nicer, left side was out 9mm... :shock:

thanks for the input. Matt


whereas you could have rung up one of the two suggested (I'll discount taren pt as being too far for you) and gone straight there. :roll:

Am I missing something?

Pretty sure many people would like to know where they can get their car done........

Thought there was only a taboo on mentioning bad places to take your car........... :?
