I’ve been to smaller shops, I’ve been to dealerships, and the only time I’ve ever gotten an alignment done right was after I complained to a general manager. I know alignments are hard with the laser machines. It shouldn’t be a problem, right? Are they just being lazy? I hate having to go back to the shop and wait another 2 to 4 hours to get something done that should’ve been done right the first time.
EDIT: I’ve had this happen with my 2001 QX4 4WD, 2019 Q50 2WD and now with 2019 Atlas AWD
What’s the vehicle YMM?
Definitely important. Almost anyone can align my pickup trucks but a performance car with AWD? That might be tough.
And some cars just suck.
I had one that would be perfectly aligned when I left the shop, and an hour later would be off. Crappy American car, subframe bushings had enough give to cause this, there was no fixing it.
Most recently a 2019 Atlas AWD but experienced this with other vehicles as well. Updated original post with vehicles.
