Dealers are the ones that screw up the most. Why? Because the "spec" is so broad, but as long as they meet it, the alignment is within spec. Result? Excessive tire wear, poor tracking, erratic steering ... etc.
Few dealers will set the alignment to an optimal value:
toe-in (F + R): 0.02
camber (R only): symmetrical and in center of spec.
Done.
