Same. Brought my falcon to a local about 6 or 7 years ago. Guy did the alignment, then told me he couldn't get it right, and asked if the car had been in an accident. Since I bought the car 2nd hand, I had no idea.

The left front tyre wore pretty quick (was cheapo tyres put on by previous owner), so I went to Bob Jane and got some new tyres. Got a good deal and the alignment was spot on.

People look at it like a failure, I look at them beating the odds for the past 25 years big time.
They should have been able to survive just on selling rims and doing alignments alone. I'd like to know how Bob Jane is doing financially, cos you now need to book 1-2 weeks in advance to get an alignment done. There is no shortage of demand.
