My MY06 C4S 997 has developed a desire to drift to the pavement on its own. I am looking for a recommendation for a good alignment check and check all my geometry . Also an indication on cost for these things. Thanking you all in anticipation.
 
You've got a number of options, here's the order I would approach them in:
Motortune Shotts - big peter knows what he's tinkering with...cost probably < £100
CLCM in sighthill, Edinburgh - a bit away but this guy is a specialist and used to do geometry for Edin OPC before they got their own kit, also < £100
Kenneth Brown, Hillington - gets mixed reviews, I didn't have a great experience (attitude rather than workmanship) but others swear by him...no clue on cost
George Morrison, Rutherglen - not 100% sure he can do geometry, but sure he'd charge you a fortune and get it done somehow...workmanship good, pot luck pricing (take the KY)
Edinburgh OPC - if you've gotta go to the dealer, they're probably the best in the UK...about £250
Glasgow OPC - the opposite of the above....£250


 
Agree with Greig, but cut to the chase and just go straight to CLCM, he's the business.

Have used CLM very happy on a 993 Also highly recommend Pro Grip in Larbert /Bonnybridge FK5 4RX 01324 557071 also google them
did my Boxster and what a difference also my son is in the Type R club and all the guys there use him and very good value starting around £45
 
I would recommend John at Progrip. He is very, very good and meticulous in his set up. I have used him for years.

Another vote for CLCM. He has done my car for the last 11 years, including when I thought Glenvarigal at Collington were doing it before they moved to Fort Kinnaird.

Willie charges around £45 to set the car up with a time charge there after, which obviously depends on what needs done. I don't think I've ever been charged more than around £60 in total. He's a stand up guy and will set the car up just as you want it.

Peter at Shotts is also very good on the older Porsches, especially 944s as he used to be invovled in racing varients but not sure how he is on the newer ones.


As an aside I did contemplate Pro grip last year as they are a bit closer but the guy eventually came back to me to say that he couldn't do it because he didn't have any settings for a lowered 993. This wasn't a problem to Willie at CLCM.
