The only way to know if a shop can do a proper alignment is to ask them if they use the Romess tool. If you get a puzzled look then keep on walking. The Romess tool is an inclinometer that reads the angle of the control arms and axles to determine individual ride height for each corner. With this information the correct specs are calculated for the alignment. Given that changes in ride height will affect camber, caster, and toe, there is no way to align that car properly without the Romess tool.

FYI, the likelyhood that a shop will have the Romess tool is virtually nil unless it is a dealer or a very specialized independent such as I work for.
