Who does headlight aiming?

Terran · Postby **Terran** » March 10th, 2008, 7:45 am

I checked Master Serv (Laventille) this morning and they said they no longer do it. I seem to be having problems doing it myself on my AE91 Corolla, so I thought I would get it done somewhere.

Where can you recommend in North Trinidad?

WELL!!!!!!

I just called Mileage Mack on Mucurapo Road... and they don't do headlight aiming.

I also called Laughlin & De Gannes on Dundonald Street, and they also said NO. The lady also went on to tell me that all customers for headlight aiming and referred to the car dealer from where they bought their vehicles.

Going and call Toyota now.

LAWD... is like I talking Pig Latin.

Me: Hi, do you all do headlight aiming?
Toyota: What is that?
Me: I need to get my headlights focussed. * Duh * :roll:

Toyota: Or hor. What is the vehicle registration? ** now with that question, I realise they're trying to determine if they have blacklisted the vehicle on their service portfolio, and if I am a Toyota Trinidad customer, so, I give them the number of my old Tercel, which I did buy from the firm **
Toyota: That vehicle was not bought from Toyota. Is it a foreign used?
Me: * chuckle * Excuse me, Miss, I bought the car brand new from you all.
Toyota: Wait... is it a Tercel?
Me: Yes.
Toyota: Sir, that car has never serviced here.
Me: What? My vehicle has been serviced there for YEARS!
Toyota: Well we don't have any record of that vehicle. Yuh will have to make an appointment.
Me: But I'm not ready to make an appointment, I want an answer to my question first.
Toyota: Which is?

Now should I have repeated myself or hung up calmly as I did?

Anyway, folks... I'm still looking for somewhere that can PROFESSIONALLY aim my headlights. Your suggestions are still welcomed.

Check MasterServ in Chaguanas.. Try calling them first.

Ask them for headlamp alignment...

Nice... Could this also be applied to normal headlights?

Yeah, I've seen that before, but the only place I can find with a white wall where I can line up and do all those things on a level surface is at WORK. Not too sure how they will appreciate me defacing their property.

Every vehicle inspection station is supposed to have the equipment to verify headlight aiming, it is one of the items on the checklist.

U should be able to aim the healights using their equipment.

What about getting a large piece of card board and just prop it up in front the car at the required distance?

Does the wall have to be white?? maybe any light colored flat surface can work?
