I took my car in for its first complimentary inspection . . .

I could sense that bad things were coming after reading your first sentence.

You won because you are a person that understands these alignment numbers, were able to speak their language, and you know the how car behaves relative to the alignment numbers. I hate to say it but the majority of customers would just be screwed and unhappy, and the dealer would tell them everything is good and normal and do what it takes to make them go away, all the while keeping the $200.

Good work.

Another approach is to never take the car to a dealer for “complimentary inspections”, which translates to “bring the car in and let us see what we can sell you.”
