I had the day off today and decided to take my wife's Durango in for an   
   alignment.  She had hit a curb about 2 years ago and the right front tire was   
   wearing bad on the outside of the tire.   
      
   First mistake was going to Midas - who had the lowest price on the alignment.   
   I got there at 11:30am and they were not finished until 3:00pm.  A 3 1/2 hour   
   alignment.   
      
   Note:  No one else was in the place but me.  One customer!     
      
   They kept telling me they were having problems getting it aligned.  Then after   
   3 1/2 hrs, they tell me it is done, but not 100% because the control arm is   
   bent.  Why they did this and waited 3 1/2 hours to tell me this is beyond me.   
   They said it is "safe" and that they did the best they could.   
      
   I drove it down the road and the stearing wheel was almost 90 degrees of (to   
   the right).  I turned around, dropped it back off and told them to straighten   
   the wheel.  They first said that is how I must drive it until I get a new   
   control arm and I told them the car was in better shape before I took it there.   
      
   I told them if they don't fix the wheel, I will void the charge and take it   
   somewhere else.  They then said they could fix the stearing wheel and 45   
   minutes later, it was straight again. Seems to be ok. 4 1/2 hours of pure hell.   
      
   What a fun day off work.. :(
