I have a 2004 Hyundai Accent. While I had the car in the repair shop a few days ago I saw one of the employees of the repair shop, while sitting in the driver’s seat, turn my front wheels about 90 degrees while the car was not moving and the motor was off. Did he do any damage of any kind to the car? Thank you. Al Brown ---

Not likely. Why do you ask, is there a new problem having to with your steering system since that event? ---

I think you are safe and the floor in the garage was probably a lot more slippery than the road. It may not be the most careful thing to do, but it may not be as bad as when the car is running. He may have done it for a reason.
