Like getting it alined and a wheel stud put in just your little things i could do but didn't want to. so here is what happened they finished my car about 7 hours later and when i got it back and started it up the thing iddled real rough. and i was not pulling the 17 Lbs of vac. on my boost guage only 11 so that told my the timming was off i took it back also but befor i could get turned around i noticed the car was real loud now like i had no muffler this happened all the way through the rpm range. i took it right back and they said they would get it first thing the next day and they did. It was off one tooth on the front cam and the vac went back up to the normal 17 lbs and the car was iddling better so i thought cool they got it right. well wrong there was still the loud noise through the whole rpm range and as you get up to 4 to 6 K rpms it gets real bad and loud i have stock exhaust so its not loud at all and it vibrates somthing horrable they say that it seams ok to them but this is not right i know my can and i am afraid to drive it for fear it will vibrate apart while i am driving so they have it again and will look at it monday . if any of you know why it might be doing this vibs i will be more that greatfull to hear it . i personal think that they didn't get the balanser lined up right. everything that i could see looked allright but i am not the best to ask about this which is the reason it was take in to the shop in the first place PLEASE help me if you can why the bad vibs

As I found out later, the fire hazard thing is true, I was on my way to a movie when flames started coming out from under my hood. And, this was before I knew about the oil cap gasket fix. It was even before I was on here or knew much of anything about cars in gereral. I was just learning how to change oil then. I was more mad that they didn't advise me before just throwing them out. I just stuffed more rags in there after I left.

My main concern with the alignment is that Terry Winn's isn't known for their good mechanical work. I didn't know it at the time, but through other people's word, I found out later. At work we use a (literally) fifteen year old alignment machine. It's the type that looks like a really old Apple computer on a stand with electrical cords that connect to the heads (wheel mounts). The heads have been dropped several times and, by word of the alignment machine repair man, are really far out of spec. Despite this inadequacy, we still turn out very accurate alignments every day. At the time, Terry Winn's had a "top of the line" laser reflecting head alignment machine that was brand new. If we can do it with caveman tools, why couldn't they do it with space-age machinery?
