oh yeah, an alignment is only as good as the tech doing it.

some places and techs go by the "green is good" measurements, but just because its in the green doesnt mean your shit is aligned correctly.

Almost all alignments done today in shops are computerized. If it's not computerized, I wouldn't take it to them.

Would you rather the guy measure all specs by hand?
