Wheel alignment (Southampton/Hampshire)

Looking to get my wheel alignement adjusted, any recommendations in the Southampton/Hampshire area?

I had mine done by Kwik Fit. My local has a Hunter Laser system and from my understanding it's quite hard to cock that up once the settings are put in for the vehicle. Plus I went for the 'geo-care' plan for £129 which gets me 8 full alignments over the next 2 years, apparently. Car drives well and I can't fault the alignment at all and the prospect of being covered for 2 years is good as I do a bit of mileage.

If you're after a bespoke setting then they might not be the best choice but I couldn't say who would be.

They did manage to cock up installing my the TPMS to my new wheels a week later however.

I used these guys in Bournemouth a while back and they cured a problem that your 'regular' alignment couldn't. May be OTT for what you want though.

Wheel Alignment Centre, West Quay. Superb. People drive there from miles around. Check out the car photos on his wall too. He doesn't use a Hunter system - doesn't trust them to provide a good enough result. He set mine up perfectly.

Cheers for the suggestions.

Tried calling him a dozen time over 3 days, never picks up the phone.
