Alignment/ Tyre expert Perth.

[Tim-in-NZ]

Well after reading the posts and threads of vehicle owners having issues with incompetent tyre fitters/ alignment technicians and hoist operator specialists - Is there anyone who has had a good experience and be prepared to recommend them in the Perth area.

I do not want to take it to the dealer - This will not happen , surely there is competently trained individuals in the automotive game who want return customers.....

Cheers

Hi Tim,
I had mine done by a mob opposite the Barbagallo LR dealership in Ozzy Park, they aren't a LR dealership they just happen to be close at hand and do a lot of the vehicles from Brabagallo. They did my sport and everything seems to be as it should be, steers and brakes in a straight line, no excessive tyre wear or strange wear patterns. Guys seemed pretty competent and were quick.
I'd use them again. A mob in Kelmscott explained to me what they were going to do so I drove off and found somewhere else. Southers used to do a good job and the same price as a regular tyre shop however the machine broke so now they farm all the work out to a local tyre shop round the corner somewhere, others speak highly of this place, me I've never used them, I think it is Tyrepower, not 100% sure.

Yep I use Tyrepower in Osborne park near Barbagellos. More than happy with them.

Which reminds me I'm due an alignment and rotation

Yes, recommend them too; They were very good when I was in Perth - are Barbagallo Tyres still there too? I got all my MTR's (19's) and 2nd hand rims from them.

Kevin Falconbridge (Jordan Rovertech, in Bentley) uses the guy just down the road from his shop. I'm sorry but I can't recall the name (it might have been Bridgestone) but he would have alligned a lot of Landrovers.

I'm interested to hear good Landrover stories about Tyrepower in Osborne Park. That place is handier for me than Bentley

Ask for Bryne and tell him Gordon recommend him. They do all (well most) of our tyres. South of the river try Lyle at Kenwick Tyrepower.

I have been to Tyre Right at Barbagello Tyres in Osbourne Park and yes they know there ****. I will be going back there again, without a doubt.

Booking required for a reason.

Interestingly, even though Barbagallo Tyres are adjoined to the LR workshop if you ask for the car to be put into Tight Tolerance Mode they look at you blankly.

Also, I remember reading on this site or Disco3 a LR service bulletin about the RRS and D3 needing to be aligned with a full tank of fuel and other specifics. I can't find it now.

As the car self-levels, I wouldn't have thought the cargo weight would affect the alignment?
