And the alignment report is only as good as the tech who gave him the printout and the report can also be altered by the same tech.


you can not alter anything on this machine.


Take the identical car to another shop that has this identical machine and I'd bet money that you won't get the same printout.
Any takers?

Yes, because that's silly. The alignment on this car is way off.

Im not an expert, but when I worked at Firestone complete auto care (tire manager, sales),I was told by the master mechanic that if a car has toe-in, relatively equal, the vehicle may not necessarily pull one way or the other, as the wheels cancel each other.
Your Front end needs to have toe fixed in my opinion.

I do know that customers who bought tires and refused an alignment with toe issues frequently got upset when the tire would wear unevenly. "But my car doesn't pull" they would say. Doesn't mean the car is in alignment. I would have to go back and dig out those alignment reports. They wanted us to warranty the tires, but if the alignment was out of spec at time of purchase W/O an alignment, their request was denied.
I only worked there for about 18 months tho, so my experience is limited.
