General: Special Meet at MRG Chippenham 17th November

[Alpha206]

Ashok, can you persuade the Autoglym Man to bring along a few bottles of screenwash & de-icing spray - I've yet to find a better product and I'm running out after stocking up on lots of it about 4 years ago!

Air-Con Regas - £50 incl VAT
4-Wheel Laser Alignment - £35 incl VAT

Is there any other "standard" service item which anyone would like done, which needs / may need a quote? If so, please let me know and I will ask.

Those are both very good prices! I paid £90 for 4 wheel alignment at my local Hi-Q in Bath and I'm pretty sure they got the toe in at the rear wrong!

I agree - I paid £60 for laser alignment at Protyre (£30 per adjustment!) last year...so I'll deffo be taking MRG up on their offer.

Cheers Ashok!

Do they do wheel balancing as well?

Yep! And much better than many local tyre companies do too, as we recently learned!!!

Hi again Henrik,

Just asked and they will do wheel balancing at £6+VAT per wheel. However, the caveat is it needs to be a relatively "simple" wheel to do as some take up a fair bit of time and we need to be able to give as many of those who turn up the chance to get their cars looked at.

Hence, my suggestion for anyone who wants any sort of work done, e.g. regas, wheel alignment, balancing etc., is please call MRG (01249 443300) and 'book' yourselves in. This will also mean that any relevant parts can be ordered in as FORD has decreed that all dealers now carry very little parts stock. However, even if you're 'booked' in, MRG will operate a first come first served basis on the day so please bear that in mind.

Well, I need a wheel alignment and my newly refurbed wheels weren't properly balanced by the refurb place! They're Virgos so pretty simple design.

What's Ford?!

Paul, does that include fully evacuating the system first, or just a top-up? I need mine evacuated first as I had a pipe break. Garage tried to top it up just with gas - needless to say it now doesn't work properly.

Colin . If the job was done correctly , the machine emptys the contents first then refils automatically .
