so.......while I'm offshore, my aunt brings my daughter's car to a dealership for me. it has a recall on the window motor. nevertheless, she calls to let me know that they told her that it needs an alignment for 70.00. I told her to tell them to get fricked. who in the hell puts a car on the rack to test for an alignment when the car was brought there to fix the window motor?

I smell a lot of bullshite in this one.

Not that this has much relevance to your situation, but when was the last time you had the tires realigned?

you can look at the tread on tires and tell. If she had metal hanging out on the inside of the tire where she couldn't see it and they didn't let her know they would be bad mechanics. Probably trying to save her the expense of buying new tires prematurely.

not all vehicles come with the right alignment from the factory from what i've seen. I'm thinking they just saw premature wear patterns in the tire treads caused by a bad alignment and notified her. Guess time will tell won't it?

yeah.. that's bad.


I once took my F-150 to the Firestone in downtown Baton Rouge for an oil change (I had a coupon). When I went back a few hours later they were just finishing it up. They spent that time going over the truck like I was trying to win Pebble Beach. The estimate to fix everything was $2400.
