TWG Automotive in Camberley for 4-wheel Alignment

Post by Mr Tidy » Sun Apr 28, 2024 11:38 pm

It's run by Will Gibson who is ex-Sytner and I knew he raced Legends (and previously BMW Compacts) so I had my MC done to E46 M3 CSL settings as I thought he'd know about setting a car up.

He certainly did, my car was transformed - even if it did need both track-rod ends that were seized solid and a bush replacing!

Then I put the TV on this afternoon for the BTCC coverage and discovered he won the Legends title last year, and saw him get from 19th on the grid to win Round 2 - Heat 1. Although he had a DNF in Heat 2.

But it confirmed I had probably gone to the right place!

I still need to make an appointment with two of mine to go there. Bit of a track and if he can do any seized components during the adjustment all the better (I have a Scottish car after all :lol: )

He's always super booked up but I've used Will @ TWG for over 10 years now on my old 3.0si, my wife's M135i, my M, my E91 320d Touring.

He's always been spot on looking after my cars, and always been nice to stop and chat racing and trackdays with him. I was hoping to get down to Donny to watch yesterday but had an ill child and wife so no chance of that !! :lol:

They no longer do alignment, the machine is broken and they are not replacing it

He's a very good peddler Will, victorious last week at Brands, must have passed the entire field to win on the line, great racing

And you can guarantee he doesn't get someone else to do his alignment.

Very much of a shame though as I was going to take two cars there initially, but my search for an allignment company is still one. He certainly seems to know what he is talking about when on the phone, but without equipment that doesn't help me.

If S Essex is feasible, I just got my E85 aligned at Elite Tyres in Rainham and was happy with the service.

That's a shame - he was only saying he did all the work on his race cars himself when he was interviewed on the TV!

Maybe he just doesn't want to do alignment for customers any more?
