Hunter 4-Wheel Alignment in Paddington
Park Royal Tyre & Alignment Centre handles Hunter 4-wheel alignment for drivers from Bishop's Bridge Road / Praed Street and the rest of Paddington. Transparent pricing, qualified technicians and quality parts.
Parallel parking is a contact sport in W2. Controlled bays around Paddington Station and Praed Street are tight, expensive and unforgiving, and every kerb strike nudges your wheel geometry a little further out. Our Hunter rig measures all four wheels to manufacturer specification and prints a before-and-after report.
What Hunter 4-wheel alignment in Paddington involves
Recognised by car makers and motorsport teams, the Hunter system delivers exceptional alignment accuracy. We rely on it for both quick alignment checks and complete four wheel geometry work, reading every angle and adjusting it precisely to the correct figures. For the full breakdown, see our Hunter 4-wheel alignment page.
Tight W2 bays, precise Hunter alignment
Paddington's controlled parking forces daily kerbside manoeuvring on Bishop's Bridge Road and the streets around St Mary's Hospital, and a firm kerb strike at parking speed is enough to shift toe or camber. The damage stays invisible until the car starts drifting on a straight road or a front tyre scrubs out on one edge. Hunter equipment, trusted by manufacturers and motorsport, picks up those small shifts exactly and corrects them.
A driver squeezing into a permit bay off Praed Street clips the kerb harder than usual and notices the steering wandering afterwards. We mount the Hunter targets, measure the full four-wheel geometry, correct anything outside specification and hand over a printed report showing the before and after figures.
It often pays to book wheel alignment in Paddington at the same time.

Local tip for Paddington drivers: After any solid kerb strike while parking in W2, glance at the inside sidewall of that wheel for scuffs or bulges before your next drive. Sidewall damage and disturbed geometry often arrive together.
Your Hunter 4-wheel alignment questions, answered
What is the difference between Hunter alignment and a basic tracking check?
Basic tracking only looks at front toe. Hunter measures the full four-wheel geometry, including camber and thrust angles, against your manufacturer's exact figures, then we adjust to specification. You get a printed before-and-after report rather than a verbal all done.
I kerbed a wheel parking in Paddington. Do I really need an alignment check?
If the impact was hard enough to feel through the wheel, yes. Parking-speed kerb strikes are a leading cause of shifted toe and camber, and driving on it wears the tyre from the inside edge where you will not see it until it is expensive.
What should I do after the alignment to keep it true?
Keep tyre pressures correct, take W2 speed humps slowly and square-on, and ease into kerbside bays rather than riding the kerb. If the steering wheel ever sits off centre again, come back promptly, since your printed report gives us a baseline to compare against.

What drivers say about us
“Excellent service. I requested a last-minute, urgent and fairly complex four-wheel alignment on a large SUV, and it was completed in under 30 minutes. At one point four mechanics were working on the car to speed things up.”
