I went to Island Brake and Alignment pearl city next to goodwill was 125 for my cobra

I went to Island Brake and Alignment and they left a dent (bowed out) the top center of my right front fender when they did  the alignment... they didn't say a word so I didn't notice until I got home.  Needless to say I won't be going back there.


How the F did they manage that??

Talk to the owner about it? He's a good guy and takes stuff like that seriously. They do most of the alignments for the SCCA guys, and has done all my cars without issue.

Easy...  lean on the fender with your elbows when you are trying to adjust the a-arms...  common problem on my generation Impalas, too.  Many came that way from the factory with small impressions from when the inattentive workers assembled the car.

Maybe bowed it in, then tried to fix it?  Missed the "out" part...  reading comprehension fail.

If it's a lowered vehicle and won't fit on the rack I've seen guys grab the fender and lift the car slightly until the arm can swing into place.  If you get carried away that could happen.
