Generally,

The tech should give you a copy of the alignment which has the range of acceptible values- and your car before and after.

He should inspect the suspension prior to attempting alignment- if something is broken or worn, it needs to be fixed prior to alignment.

I believe Aussiebenz is a dealer alignment tech- I wrote him back about a dozen times and now have a better understanding of my car. He was a huge help in my trying to diagnios what I didn't like about the alignment-even though it was within spec ...

I'm guessing if the car's adjusments are not centered as a starting place- it's possible to get out of range on a side. That sounds classically like NTB alignment techs- If they can't fix it with a turn of a toe adjustment,the car is damaged... and please pay us anyhow. Wow if we get paid full price for less work- why would anybody try and do it right??


Sorry for the rant- had many bad experiences with them.

Michael
