Does anyone know of someone who will work on a 1999 XK8? I need an alignment. 15 shops called, none of them will touch a car this old.

Reach out to Darryl Beech at Charleston Import Automotive (843)552-6555 as he may have some recommendations for you.

Where are you in SC?

I have never heard of an alignment shop that wouldn't work on a 25 year old car? So no one will touch cars from the 50s 60s 70s etc ?

Near Columbia. I called 4 or 5. None would touch it. Even the Jag dealer said they don't work on older than 15 years.

Found a shop that does it old school - no computer readout. Dude does it all manually with old school tools. He was recommended by one of the Import Specialties shops in town.
