Front End Allignment - Saab Forums

bojib · #1 04-11-2008, 11:41 PM

I finally get my car back together and driveable after my last experience with a garage (getting tires put on and the garage stripped the hub out).

Now that it's all back together after waiting two weeks for parts, I need to get the front end aligned.

I'm finding it hard to get the courage up to take it back to another garage, but I have to with this.

Any words of encouragement for me so I can work up the nerve to let another garage take a whack at working on my car?

try to avoid stealerships if you can...im taking you never took it to a dealership to begin with?

No, I got it used, and well... the nearest saab stealership is about 2 1/2 hours away from here, so I've never even been to the dealership with this car.

ask around.... bad reputation sticks, so you'll know which places to abvoid like fire. Also I stay away from big chains since they don't pay their mechs well and what good mech will work there. NTB and firestone had been exceptions so far as far as alignments go. Look for an Indie, or an oldtime mechanic... Indie is usually best, but a mechanic with a good rep is always good.
