Thats sounds like bullsh!t to me!

The lasers dont have anything to do with the arches!
Oh hang on a mo yes they do as the top lug has to go between the top of the tyre and the arch.
So if yours has no gap then they cant do it!

Elite in Rainham Essex can do a proper geometry check / adjustments, it's a little drive but it'll be worth your while.
