No alignment was done, and now I have to wait for the car to get fixed...god damn, it JUST got painted.

so are they paying to repair it? are they fixing it themselves? who gets to choose the shops?

I hope you have concrete evident to pin this on them...

Yeah, I know, just thought I'd throw this in with the other host off accidents posted this past week.

They're gonna have a shop fix it..hopefully I get to choose.

'without problems' ??

98% of lowered vehicles can't be aligned to proper specs anyways. It's useless to take it in for an alignment unless you have the right aftermarket parts on the car.

I think when the guy (hehe, probably the 'guy in the office') said 'without problems'.. he wasn't referring to getting the car up onto the alignment rack. That's a task most shops improvise once they have your money. I used to do alignments.

Sorry about your car! **** sucks.
