Not that it helps that much, but does the alarm go off when they steal them?

Default No, and that is really what pisses me off the most.

It's one thing to make a car with an expensive part that is remarkably easy to steal. It's even worse when that part can be stolen and the alarm doesn't even go off. The parts alone for those headlights were about $2k total. That's 5% of the value of the damn car.

Default I would normally think to go to Clair but if I can get the same work done just as well for

a little less $$$, I'm all up for that.

BTW, home PC is back and booting up fine. All docs recovered.

Default DT Natick is excellent

My rear toes were seized on a 15 y/o AWD car with 1.5" drop, took them 3 hours but was better than ExpressTire ($80 x 3 attempts that failed)

Default Yes and no.

There is a special tool required to adjust the camber, but camber is very rarely out of spec. Alignments aren't the standard maintenance items that they were years ago; now the only time an alignment is needed is when something is changed in the front end. On my C5's, I don't even bother with an alignment when changing control arms. I align with each tie road end repair only.

BTW, since when does Sears do anything but "toe and go" anyway?

Yes, I would say you can go there with confidence. Not always cheap, but very reliable.
