It is mind boggling how many will say "There is no way to align it" because the computer doesn't have the correct info, they MUST have the computer tell them how to do simple adjustments! They will have ZERO understanding of the simple geometry!

We have to send stuff out every once in a while because our rack is tied up with a car or something like that and I am always amazed at the stupid stuff that they will say.

VERY few of these guys have the basic understanding of the angles they are working with every day.

I agree 100%. We have an alignment shop in town that has been in the same family for over 50 years, and that's all I use. People complain that they're too expensive, but a few extra bucks for an alignment that's done right is worth it. They take the time to do it right. They don't do 20-minute alignments like the average shop does. They'll spend 2-3 hours and get it dead-nuts.
