Has anyone used them before? Ex TSL engineers/mechanics and supposed to know their stuff, any feedback appreciated.

Default Alright Jase

Not much mate I rung ye the other day bout 4wheel alighnment which ye dont do so was just wondering if any of scooby lads had been to them. I usually go to TSL but at £165+vat for an alignment they just keep outpricing themselves hence me looking elsewhere.

You will be well looked after
Top lad and lass at Carnetix. Then nip to the other side of the workshop floor and deal with Tracktive! LOL.
All good folks, a lot of experience and advice and Richard's mapping if you need it.

Carnetix and Tractive are different companies that share the same premises.
I have used Carnetix for about 3 years now and I personally would not use anyone else, they are friendly and down to earth and will actually take the time to talk options through with you, they actually talked me out of spending money on my last car

I have used Tractive for mapping and whilst I can't complain with the results, the customer service left a lot to be desired, got the feeling that he couldn't be bothered to talk about further potential options on my latest car so i'm now looking for another mapper.

Default Well

I can report very impressed with the service and the way I was consulted and asked about everything before they advised of the way to go. Very very happy with the outcome as well I enjoyed some spirited driving on the way back towards the M1
Pity it didnt carry on when I got on the M1 bumper to bumper all the way home

Met a guy in waiting room called mark originally from suffolk so if ye read this and your him say hello the hrs flew by with our rantings and ravings.

£165+vat for wheel alignment?? is that right.

I've got a six month old wagon which i've noticed is pulling to the right which I guess is the alignment unless any one can let me know other wise. I guess this is not covered by any warranty

A guy at work had his bora adjusted for £25 I think which only took 15 minutes. Whats the difference for a 4x4.
I was thinking of ringing kwikfit or some one. Is it very specialised on these cars??

Default I deffo

wouldnt bother with kwik fit or anyone else for that matter who doesnt use the proper equipment. After using carnetix I will always go back there now all in £90 an worth every penny
In my opinion yes they are specialist alignment only

Carnetix are a great company . I was there today (Sat) for an oil change and my cars first MOT. In my opinion you won't get a better specialist anywhere for price, attitude and down to earth advice .
