Pulling to the left
#1
So I had my tracking checked today and it was 11mm out to the left.

So they adjusted it, now it just pulls to the left all the time even on flat roads where it never use to pull.

Think I should take it back for a re-check?

Yup, they've not done a very good job!

Where did you take it? I've seen plenty of cars come out of Kwik-Fit worse than when they went in.

Is your steering wheel dead straight?

Where I always take my cars now Bathwick tyres never had a problem before.

Yes wheel is dead straight.

Had Kwik-fit do it once on an old car when I had new tyres all round a week later I had inner edge bold front tyre they were amendment it wasn't their fault and they wouldn't replace the tyre.

The other place I've had issue's is national tyres, they didn't un-clip the hoses end result £500 bill to replace the power steering pump again they wouldn't admit to it.

I'm going to go back tomorrow, I've also noticed they fucked about with the mirror switch and un-clipped somehow. So I've had to take the door card off and re clip it.

When they moved the car from car park to workshop, the mirrors were folded in (due to the auto fold).

Mines pulling to the left. Took it back in for the fourth time but now I asked of the machines needed calibrating. Asked if the wheel is now straight and he said yes. I think he used the plastic steering column to gauge the straightness as its bang on, only problem is the plastic cover is not straight!!! Might just try another garage and fork out another £20
