Chevy truck was so old, mechanics refused to do an alignment. Once you hear why, it’s hard to blame them

Word to the wise: if you have an old car that’s been modified over the years, you will have a hard time getting issues fixed by a proper mechanic. A Chevy owner learned that the hard way when he took his car to get an alignment and was denied because he had slightly modified it. He posted his complaints on Facebook, and surprisingly, nobody took his side.

A trip to the mechanic is probably one of the most unpredictable experiences you can ever have as a car owner. There have been car owners who got turned back because the technician didn’t like the smell of the car. There have been others who only got to understand how financing works after their car was fixed (pro tip: financing is secured before the fixing, not after). But one thing remains constant — make sure you do consultations before you commit to anything.
