Monkeylad joke? (NAC)

[Tihol Tiholov]

Sorry to say Ford on this list.

A local Canadian tire outfit told a 2001 Ford Windstar minivan's owner that
in order to do wheel alignmnt the windshield had to come off and quoted 3
hours labor for that.  This after 4 new tires were put on.  Owner says it
pulls to the left and admits no accident history.
I think it's a bad joke coming form an alledged service front man with known
mind-expanding substabce dependence and previous history of railroading
customers into similar odd expenses.  Anyone heard something like that ...
or even weirder?
