So, after being bitterly disappointed with the kids at the local tire shops, who can't seem to figure out how to align a 2008 car correctly, I figured I would follow in my Dad's footsteps and take the Roadrunner to Sears Auto. That, plus I got a Groupon voucher for getting it done for $49, but mainly because my Dad always went to Sears.
I scheduled an appointment for this Saturday, and thought I better call them up and make sure their system knows what a 74 Roadrunner is or if I need to bring the numbers with me. Some kid answered the phone and I asked to speak with the oldest tech they have working. After ten minutes on hold, an older-sounding chain-smoker got on the phone. I told him I was bringing in a 74 Roadrunner in on Saturday and asked if the system could handle it.
He told me their system goes back past 74, so that was no problem. Then he started asking me "what have you done to the car? Any new suspension components?", "Is it the original engine size?", "Has it been resto-modded with those ridiculous huge wheels?" and "What shape is the steering box in?" So it definitely sounds like this guy knows what he's about and he told me he would do the work on Saturday. He said he'll do his best but if for any reason they can get the alignment done, like my sickly steering box, then they will refund my money.
So hopefully I'll either have a good alignment or some extra money to put towards a steering box.
