We often say practice makes perfect, I have been working at Schafer’s for over a year now. One of the first things I was taught to do was alignments. Alignments pay for 45 minuets, that seems reasonable right?!! When I first started them, it took me every bit of an hour or more to do them. That includes checking tire pressure, ball joints, tie rods, and really any suspension components. I have gotten pretty good at alignments over the past year, of course there are still times where the tie rod nut won’t come loose and I have to heat it.. but that’s just part of everyday life in the field. I’m not saying that I’m perfect at them, but practice definitely helps. I can usually (assuming that nothing goes wrong) have an alignment done within or under a half an hour. I think one of the most important things to being successful at any job is practice. You can’t just expect to be perfect without putting forth any effort. When it comes to doing alignments, I’m all for it, yeah sometimes you don’t get it done as quickly as you like, but that’s okay. So, just remember practice makes “perfect.”
