CurtisR=> they (a reputable shop) were unable => to get the front into spec, and cast => blame on my front beam. I've also had a couple of reputable shops give up on aligning my car, and my car has seen several hard hits, including a major frontender. But it's still alignable, and with reference to a good manual I've been able to show a couple of cooperative techs (not VW guys, by the way) how to do it. So my first reaction to this is the expectation that your guys aren't informed of the subtleties of the Type 3 front end, but that's just an expectation. Make sure they've got the right manual (VW, Bentley or Elfrink) and are willing to really look at it. That said, did they tell you exactly what they couldn't get into spec?
