Karter16 404 Report post Posted May 17 Hi all, Wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best place to get a wheel alignment in Auckland (ideally on the shore)? If all else fails I'll take the trip across to Auckland City BMW but given the entire rear end will be out I'd rather not have to drive too far on the approximate alignment I'll have done.

Their "M Certified Technicians" didn't know how to remove the camber adjustment pin in my brand new OE front shock mounts (literally a hex bit to unscrew the bolt) and rather than asking someone or bothering to look in TIS they took to my (also brand new) front shock with a hammer in an attempt to get it in alignment. Their service department manager was entirely squirrelly and disingenuous about my complaint (I had to escalate to BMW NZ before I got any meaningful engagement with him at all) so as a result Continental will never receive so much as a 10 cent piece from me.

Bruski 34 Report post Posted May 19 Maybe try these guys down in Archers Road: Wheel Balancing and Puncture Repairs in New Zealand (tyretech.co.nz) Did the alignment in the Audi for me. No complaints so far. Gave some good (advice on a technical issue I was having as well as discussing some of the finer points of camber on older BMWs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
