Awesome gti Geo specialist??

Post by Rs63855 » Tue Dec 06, 2016 1:58 pm

Need a specialist to do my Geo close ish to Manchester. Involves moving my sub frame as there is. I adjustment on front camber but centre cravity said it can be adjusted by moving the sub frame

Anyone use awesome gti for Geo and subframe alignment?

Don't waste your time or money with Awesome Gti, they fitted my KW coilovers and 034 control arms which they installed upside down, ripped the dust covers and were touching the inner wing. This meant two trips and two lots of Geo which was still out. Also don't expect them to answer emails if you have a problem as they simply ignore them!

In the end I had Centre Gravity put everything right and I can't recommend them enough. :thumbs:

I've used awesome in the past. Found them good until they made a mistake, then didnt want to know and the guy i spoke to Mark, was rude. They admitted they'd put the wrong guy on the job and it was bad workmanship. But refused to correct it as another garage pointed out it was wrong and needed to go back.

Crap!! That's what I didn't want to hear! :( centre gravity just way to far :(

But surely if I tell them what I want and how they can't go wrong lol I have seen reviews that there alignment is really good. All I do is say want a print out of alignment all done and bang on. They won't be able to get it bang on if the subframe hasn't been moved.

Centre gravity are just over an hour away from Manchester, how can that be too far away?? If you want your car done properly then you should be willing to travel.
Sorted your tyres out yet?

I can't get there For 8.30 in morn from manc when kids start school at 8.45 Also need to be back for 3s to get kids from school. (Single parent) so kinda impossible

Get involved with what they are doing. Discuss requirements. Test drive and repeat.

No point in asking a specialist like CG for their advise and then taking it somewhere else and expecting the same attention to detail that these guys will give.

Hate to say this but there is a few things that give it away that both profiles ARE you.

1, you can't spell " which" you spell it " witch"
2, you can't spell "you" you spell it "u"
3, both profiles end "3855"
4, you habitually use "lol" mid sentence
5, both profiles have a habit of cussing fellow users with" bunch of w4nkers" and "mofo"
6, both live in Manc's
7, both can't help themselves and keep starting threads relating to Geo/torque steer.

Must I go on?

Get a grip of yourself Dude!!!

Please don't think that we're stupid!!

If you can't help yourself and you want to make a fool of yourself then crack on being a divvy.
