TIL today.....
Alignments shop personnel are NOT the sharpest knives in the drawer. My Honduh was the subject of a hit an run in a parking lot. Knocked off the side view mirror and scraped/dented the whole passenger side. I replaced the side mirror with an online aftermarket part and two wheels from a CL purchase for $90 total.
The test drive found a serious pull to the right. So, off to the alignment shop. They found it needed a good bit of adjustment. When they threw up their hands in a WTF form, they offered an immediate refund. I accepted.
Noodled it over in my head and swapped out the front right tire with the spare. Problem solved....free alignment was the bonus. Saved $100 w/o no regrets. They should have thought about when they did the test ride.
Now to the body shop whilst I road trip in my 911 to Oregon and back.....
