M3 wheel alignment difficulty

Based on my personal experience, I wouldn't risk doing it outside of a Tesla SC. YMMV though.

OK thanks, I'll just book it in at Stockport tesla.

You may have had a bad experience, but there are many good independent alignment places around the country capable of doing a better job than a Tesla SC and at a much fairer price. There is no need to spend £300+ if all the car needs is a toe adjustment, and most of the time that's all that's needed.
Ask on TMC or FB groups and you'll usually find a recommendation for a place in your area.

I found a local place on the forum and it turned out to be the place my local Tesla garage take there cars, saved myself £300 and a few miles less covered for exactly the same job

Would love to find somewhere local but every place I've asked so far won't touch Tesla's... Which is really infuriating as above it's not rocket science and £380 to do this is a complete micky take.

I've booked it in with Tesla Chester for the time being for Friday but will redouble efforts to find somewhere else that will do it before then.

I'd even be willing to travel long distance if someone can put forward a reputable place that can carry it out?

Thanks for the info. Tried F1 and indeed they say they can align my M3! (they have a 'supertracker' apparently). Will report back.

I tried my local F1 Autocentre and they told me they don't touch teslas because of the lane departure sensors etc. Even when I told him it was all based on cameras, he stuck by it being because of lane departure.

I've tried several chains now and am struggling to find one that is able to assist. I am off work today and tomorrow and want to try and identify and rectify any issues I may have picked up the week before last after a substantial impact with a sizeable pothole.
