Listers, called a couple of local recomended repair shops here in N. Va.
today to get the F.E. checked for alignment, the pass. side tire is not
wearing right. Was given a few different prices but one I would like to
pass along, "London Auto Services Ltd." in Fairfax, Va., told me if I
only needed toe-in & toe-out its $93.00, if I needed caster and camber,
upper & lower its $195.00 + all parts and they almost always need some
parts, if its real rusted & any stripped bolts it can be a little higher
than this, when I asked why so high, he said a F.E. alig. usually takes
about 3 hours. When I told him this was a concours show car, he said it
might be just a little less. I've been around a long time, and if a
mechanic needs 3 hours to alig. a F.E., I prefer not to have it on my
car. Thanks but no thanks.
