and the crazy thing about him is that he uses no computers or anything like that, does everything by hand.

that's CRAZY!!! I guess I'm just so used to all these computers doing things with cars that I'm a bit uneasy about having some guy do it by hand BUT with all the things I've read, it's almost as if he's better then those computers.
Problem with computer alignments is that the "acceptable" margins for our car is actually quite huge.

Wonder how much Darren charges...
