The car is driving perfectly straight and the best part is they didn't scratch my rims because they use a special wheel alignment tool that locks into the centre cap of the wheel instead of the outside rim.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction I have a 996C4S  it's my first 911 and my  rear tires are chewed out in the inside  shoulder of the tire .   With every other car I have owned in the past I've just gone to my local Bob Jane dealership to get tires and a wheel alignment done but being a 911 do I need to go  to someone more specialised like a Porsche dealership or a Porsche independent?  The car was always serviced at   Porsche Melbourne  do they do ties  and wheel alignments there ?

POST 2Original post

Rocky at Donnellans in Collingwood is the man to sort you out. Very reasonably priced too.

POST 3Original post

Just a general comment, not specific to Melbourne.  If your car is lowered you may have difficulty getting onto the wheel alignment 'rigs' that you need to drive onto. For my lowered 996 I need to get it aligned at a place that does from a pit in the ground ie you drive over the top and it comes up rather than one of the ones that you drive onto.

POST 4Original post

Had my 996 C2 with M030 (10mm lowered) done at PCM. Their customer service is excellent, they also did a good job on the alignment. They are pricey though coming in at the most expensive of the quotes I got. I started a thread about this here:

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ended up taking it to Porsche Centre Melbourne haven't picked it up yet .  I rang around and they were only $50   More expensive than other places  for two tires and a wheel alignment .  And they even shouted me a taxi home which came up to $80.  I must  admit they have a beautiful workshop.

Same reason I had my wheel alignment done there and get my services done there too. Also a service from them gives you free roadside assistance for a year and you get some promotional give away too. Their workshop is amazing...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got my car back yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the service at porsche  Centre Melbourne.   The car is driving perfectly straight and the best part is they didn't scratch my rims because they use a special wheel alignment tool that locks into the centre cap of the wheel instead of the outside rim.  And I even paid for a taxi to pick me up as well can't complain with that. ? 295 30 18    Michilin pilot sport ps2
