Got car aligned, balanced and rotated. Almost immediately hit a curb
knocking it out of alignment again. (Sigh.) Talk me out of going out and hitting a curb from the other side to try to put it back into alignment.:P

1. Take it back to the folks just did it
They should give you a break, as much of the work will not need to be redone.

3. Well they obviously did a piss-poor job, didn't they, if the car was so hard to control?
Take it back and tell them to fix it, and maybe you won't sue them... ;)

6. Oh well, these things happen. Just get it done again. Because
good alignment is necessary.

12. Have mercy. Woke this morning to find my last orange green
so I couldn't have my Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana Juice. (Not that pineapple is a bad substitute, but still.)
