Alignment specs for Indie...

So I have a set of refurb (15 hole) wheels w/ brand new Pilots I purchased from a guy, but was waiting until I did an alignment to run them.

I put them on in anticipation of an alignment and was getting a vibration, so I went to my local tire shop and had then rebalanced. She told me that she couldn't align the car because Mercedes doesn't release the "specs" for an alignment.

So I go to my tried and true "go to" indie and he says "no problem" alignment done and all seems fine.......

So the question is, who's right? FWIW, the tire shop said that since MA passed the "right to repair" law, Mercedes will be making the specs public(?)

Just curious...

When I've gotten mine aligned at Firestone (they use a Hunter machine), they couldn't pull up the specs with the year and model. But when they entered the VIN the specs came up.
