Any one ever use CarX?

Has anybody ever used CarX to service their brakes or have an alignment. I need to get my MCS aligned after just recently getting new tires. I heard an ad on the radio that they do alignments for $60 and they said they work on all cars including BMW's. I am looking into them doing my brakes over the next year when the time comes after I get a quote from them.

Any one have experience with them?

Nope, never seen CarX but I have done alignment before.

Any brake and alignment specialty shop can do the MINI alignment (custom and stock settings).

Most brake specialists can do MINI stock alignment. Just ask them if they do four wheel thrust alignment. $60 is the going rate more or less. Specialty shops can charge up to $100 for custom alignments but they take about 90-120 minutes to do and give you a print out sheet before and after.

Just call around.

For alignment you can set toe front and back for all MINIs but you cannot easily change front camber or caster. Rear camber can be adjusted a little in recent year MINIs but not the early year models 2002-2004. You want all these settings to be roughly equal left vs right.
