A Visit To The Doctors Surgery


Recommended Posts

Just got back from a visit to Dr.Tony's WIM workshop. First off can I say what a very profesional and approachable guy he is. After reading the threads about the inherant fault with standard Lexus geometry settings, I didn't think that this applied to our Lexus, as on first glance the tyres looked fine. After putting the steering on full lock so I could see the full width of the tyre I was shocked to find a 25mm wide totally bald and badly worn inside edge on the drivers side tyre. I sent tony a PM (out of hours). He immediately responded and told me that this was as a result of the original incorrect Lexus geometry set up. I then arrange a visit and today have had the geometry corrected. Tony encouraged me to watch him carry out the process to see exactly what each adjustment was doing. Adjustments were required to both the rear and front suspension, the front drivers side needing over one degree of adjustement (pretty serious amount). After adjustments were finished and a clean bill of health was given, he advised us that the car handling and braking would feel different and to exercise caution. Could immediately notice a vast improvement in braking, also the car handled much better especially over uneven road surfaces. Overall the car seems to hug the road much better and inspired more confidence whilst driving. I would urge all LOC members to check their tyres and would definately recommend a visit to Tony's WIM. A thoroughly worthwile visit and a top man to boot!

Another one of Dr Bones's patients happy. Honestly kids, if you haven't been yet get yourself down there asap. It is genuinely the best money you will spend on your car and worth every penny because it makes such a huge difference to your car. Glad you're happy with the results Moody!
