My experience was with a K-Mart Auto Shop.  We took our Ford LTD in
for a front wheel alignment (or I should say I took it in - my husband
stayed at home).  While waiting for someone to wait on me, I heard the
mechanic talking to the woman in front of me - he told her she need a
new front end on the car (tie rods, wheel bearings - the works) because
look at the way her front tires jiggled when his 250 pound body hung
from them.  She said she would have to call her husband about spending
$250.  Then he put my car up on the rack (not knowing I had listened to
him talking to the other woman) and proceeded to tell me EXACTLY the
same thing - word for word.  He couldn't understand why I wanted him
to put my car down and let me out of there.

K-Mart Auto Shops aren't in business in this part of the country
anymore - thank goodness!
