When an alignment isn’t actually the problem… 👀 This customer came in thinking they needed a wheel alignment, but after inspecting the vehicle we found several suspension issues, including rear shocks that were completely blown out and causing all that bouncing. The shocks had recently been replaced, but new parts can still be bad right out of the box. That’s why having repairs done by a shop that stands behind its work matters. At 4J Car Care, our parts and labor are backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty, and we stand behind our work.

Just so you all know, a little inside baseball for the DIY guys. "just an alignment" after someone else did all of the profitable work, is a complete LOSS to the shop. It doesn't justify selling unneeded work, thats unethical, but, no one wants "just an alignment". Obviously most armchair "mechanics" do not understand business or OVERHEAD! Lets go here: Compare it to a wife presenting her HUSBAND the hotel bill after she spent the night with her BOYFRIEND! Homeboy got all the goods and hubby did the hard part. Especially if homeboy also ordered room service and opened the in room bar, broke the tv and REALLY messed things up. Huge loss. No gains.

This has to be a joke. You're the reason people don't trust mechanics

I have to agree with these commenter, that bounce wouldn't make me think shocks. If it is too easy to bounce thats springs.

I had a car on the alignment rack and if you did it enough you could get the rear tires to bounce up just slightly off the rack lol

That is within specs. Two and a half rebounce is ok. Shocks are te biggest upscale from shops. It’s an easy one hour job.
