Wheel alignment in Brisbane

Anyone know of a shop in Brisbane that does a good wheel alignment? I’ve tried three different places including my local BMW dealer and none have been able to get it right. The steering has been a couple of degrees off to the right since I bought the car new. 28k km now and I can see uneven wear on the left rear and front tyres..

Thoughts, feedback please?

I take mine to Bob Janes at MacGregor. Never had an issue. 65k km now. I got my MPSS there and have had it regularly maintained by them. Due for another alignment.

Best bet is to tell them your concerns. They're s good bunch.

Thanks I’ll give them a try. They are close to where I live as well!

I’ll get that checked. I think my rears are in negative camber as well due to the uneven wear on the inside of the tyres

i think they kinda default to a bit of negative camber. I noticed for the wear on my first set of tyres that it was only a little bit of uneven wear on the rears. I think it's pretty common for RWD cars to have a little bit of negative camber. Not an expert though.
