usualy alignment is only few mm one way or the other. That is not something can be seen in naked eye, nor I dont think there is any dives to find it out without properly hooking the car to an alignment machine in my opinion..

Well, at least they put in a smidgen of effort on putting on a show and tell act for the customer. There's some that put in no effort at all - like a tire shop web site I ran across that just flat out recommended annual alignments for their customers.
