It is BS as Mike says.
My brother is a mechanic and they use the same machine to align everything
from Austin Mini's to One Ton Dual Wheel pickups.
You have a case there with one of two things happening:
1. They don't know what they are doing.
OR, more likely,
2. They don't want to do it. (old car, likely rusty bolts, chance of
breaking one, have to replace it, harder to adjust than new
cars........)(they consider it more trouble than it's worth to their bottom
line)
Either way, you want to find another, reputable shop, to do the alignment
for you.
Where are you located, maybe someone has a suggestion?
