Approx 50%
of all cars that fail the NCT test, do so by failing on incorrect
headlight
aim.
The issue
here is that the vast majority of garages use a visual headlight beam
measuring
unit. This unit allows the mechanic to correct the alignment of the
headlight
beam to a line on the back wall of the beam box.
The
problems occur when testing at an NCT centre as they use a digitally
calibrated
unit which measures by degrees of angle and is far more precise.
The Solution
At
Automotif we have installed the same equipment as the test centres to
ensure
that when we correct your alignment, you will pass the test.
What’s
more, we will check your alignment for free.
We will
only impose a charge if you require us to correct the alignment.
Worth
noting is that if you fail on headlight alignment you will then be
required to
pay the NCT centre to retest your vehicle after you have gone and had
them
adjusted.
Therefore come
to us first and let us test them for you, result being,
A)
Your
alignment is correct, no fee and you will pass the test.
B)
We
adjust your headlights and you will pass the test.
