Laurie Rocks....

[Steve]

Went and saw Laurie down at Bridgestone in the city.

First time in, got the car put up and was told it didnt need a wheel alignment, but they didnt have time to check the rest of the suspension - NO CHARGE

In for the rest of the suspension checked (ride hight, fine tune camber, etc), well at first things were a bit slow, Laurie was busy on the phone. Then, when the car goes on the hoist, out comes the pizza 'here you go mate, fill your boots or it just goes in the bin', then comes out the coke, same thing.

Fine adjustment of alignment, check ride height, reset rear sway bar, and we went for a drive - I though the problem was in the rear - Laurie disagreed, 'you need to tighten up the front sway bar'. Back on the hoist, adjust front sway bar (involved a bit of work). Off hoist then I took the car for a drive - and now she handles 100 times better - its bloody awesome!

I whip out the wallet - Laurie charges me just $35 for a wheel alignment - THE MAN IS AWESOME

Just had to put in a good word, this is the best bloody service I have ever had of anybody - and I'm not young!

MUST also say a big thanks to Clint32 for hooking me up with some really cheap whiteline gear, what a top aussie bloke

Sorry if you guys think I have been wasting your time by posting this, but I just had to let as many people know, whoever is after suspension tuning - speak to Laurie!

PS Friday arvo is the time to go if you want the pizza:D

[Clint32]

Maybe i will have to take my car down, its got the full whiteline kit without a wheel allignment, handles sweet but it could probably be a lot better.

[Steve]

Hey Clint, couldnt hurt at $35 - if they have to adjust it. if not, well they didnt charge me the first time 'cos they didnt change anything.

[GTR King]

About time some one got some old fashion NO BS service.

Good to hear :]

[MattR]

Ill be going there next week to get my alignment checked then, cheers:)

[whatsisname]

Told ya' Laurie was the go didn't we Steve

Laurie went one better when I got my RE540S's - Free beers, Crownies too!

[Steve]

Yep, owe you guys one there. I'll definately be back to him for tyre now!!!! (even before hearing about the beers)

[TIMMMAYYY]

This Laurie dude sounds like a unit. Where's he at, what does he do?

[Steve]

235 Gouger st, the big bridgestone store, cant miss it. Just does tyres and suspension work as far as I know.

[Drift Spec]

I am going to book in my car tomorrow, this guy sounds like the go for sure... who should I say sent me? , will put in the good word for ya Steve

[Steve]

yeah, and perhaps mention Matt as well - he sent me, along with others. Would definately be worth mentioning that you heard about him on the skyline forum.

[Drift Spec]

Cool will do , so should I ask for Laurie when booking or let him know when I am there.... dunno if he will pretty busy thats all.

[Steve]

Yeah, he is usually pretty busy, but I dont think he will mind if you ask for him. The more people tell him that they are from the same place, the more likely he is to treat us kind as a whole. Though from what I could tell, they were pretty customer oriented all round, not just Laurie.
