Took my car to these people yesterday after supa quick quoted me R750 for labour to have my shock mountings replaced, excluding parts and alignment.
Anyway had my wheel bearings, shock mountings and tie rod ends replaced at Express Fitment in Lansdowne (next to Samoosa King) and they charged me R2500 for supply and fit, with alignment. I would have hated to see what Supa Quick would have quoted me.

thats a bit excessive
They charged me R150 I think for alignment, and as far as I can see they use the same equipment as supa quick, with the fancy lasers and computers

u should check by powerflow also - well the one in tokai ...same equickment
then also in tokai - at the dunlop dealer - there is a oke there that shares the space that does suspension and alignment etc - top notch ...and not expensive . .
but i have hear of express fitment before - good quality aplus loads of food places around it for while u wait

Hey CA....What you should do is visit Tyre and Exhaust in Paarl for your Alignment... They charge R120 for the alignment.And they good...I only use them for all suspension and tyres and exhausts repairs.. They are situated by Bearing Man by Coca Cola Depot... _________________   Speed has never killed anyone.........Suddenly becoming stationary....... That's what gets you....!!! Jeremy Clarkson
