This surprises you in what way? Chain store alignment = Toe and go AT BEST… An alignment machine only as good as the person operating it. Loose lugs don’t startle me a bit. I’ve read the Firestone management course principals, it’s used regularly along with Goodyear’s as examples of what NOT to do to stay in business. They expect 75% of customers to NEVER walk through their doors twice, so rape, theft and everything immoral is the norm and to be expected. Since they’ll NEVER be back, get it while the getting is good. Calling management is going to do two things: jack and shit. Yeah they might yell at someone, but then what? As long as the store generates $$, they won’t care. Thanks A lot of guys say scruggs. I had my B7 A4 done there… Honestly, Did a shit job and they took my car to lunch. The kicker my average mpg rating went from 28 to ~12. (from when I dropped it off to when I picked it up) ---

I bring my cars to Guario’s on South Park in Lackofmoney right by the OLV basilica. I took it to Broad Elm or whatever the place in Hamburg is called that used to be Broad Elm and the fucking idiots didn’t know there is abjustibility in the balljoints. ---

You cant paint all chain shops with the same brush. Off the top of my head i know a guy that has worked for the same chain shop for 25+ years and i have the utmost respect for him, matter of fact i consult him regularlly. It all depends on who’s running the shop [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/goodyear-an-alignment-and-4-loose-lugnuts/209938.md?page=2)
