Sounds like they work alot like we do at the dealerships, falt rate hours which means the tech broke a bolt and cried because he would have to remove said bolt and not get paid to do it. If it were my self in the situation i would have done the alignment for free and had a tech do the whole thing as a favor to me for making their paycheck with other customers cars. ---

they prolly didnt know how to remove the bolt without jacking his car up . . there is a thing called a torch that would have made thingsssss a lottt easier to move when rusty . .not saying im perfect but my god most of the shit we see come out of places like that just makes us real techs laugh our asses offffff ---

They still went about it the wrong way though ^this They did treat you poorly and you were correct in being upset. The whole thing should have gone like this. Tech should have brought car in, mounted sensors and attempted adjustment. When he realized that the camber adjusters in the rear were siezed he should have told the manager. The manager should have then gone and said customer X your rear camber eccentrics are siezed for us to successful complete a full 4 wheel alignment it will cost x number of dollars to replace these bolts in addition to the 80 bucks. What most people don’t realize is that schmuck who is working on your vehicle well his paycheck depends on how much work he puts out at the end of the week and he really doesn’t get paid that much. So moral of the story is don’t go to chain stores, but don’t be surprised if you go to a legit shop and they tell you that it’s gonna cost more then 80 bucks to get your 15 year old car aligned. ---

It is an older car, so yea there is a chance a cam bolt or 2 will brake. I would have replaced both rear bolts and re-aligned the car completely. I really didn’t think it was to big of a deal to do. I am Embarased to say I work there sometimes, and it’s because of situations like this. Unfortunately there is only so much I can do before it gets to be out of my hands.

Thanks ASS! My only point was that a lot of time people don’t really think about what it costs when they throw a fit and end up getting something for free. (not saying you were) It might be good for them, but they’re literally taking money out of some poor persons’ check that probably doesn’t make all that much to begin with. It’s kinda like working in a restaurant, once you’ve had a job in one you have a lot more appreciation and respect for the people that work there and tend to treat them differently. ---

On my Miata I took a sledge to them for a good 30 minutes, going in every possible angle and direction and absolutely destroying the old ones, after _soaking_ them in PB blast and other tricks until they finally came off. That anti seize trick is a good suggestion.
