I always made a Saturday appointment and I stayed with my car. They had a real old guy do it, he only worked a couple days a week and 1/2 day Saturday was one of them. The shop is right across the street from my shop and we know each other. I got to watch and go for the test drive with the old mechanic driving the car after the alignment. He did a OK job I think? But how could I ever know one way or another other by how the car drove. That's all the mechanic was looking for. Now I am much more picky about my setup, it's not stock.

When he retired altogether is when I bought the tool. Should have bought it 10 years earlier, been much easier and cheaper.

My alignment "rack" lol
