Why don't you just do an adjustment yourself and see. If you are not comfortable with doing the final alignment you can take it to the shop after you at least confirm you can correct the situation. Rear camber adjustments are pretty easy, rear toe is more difficult since you need to match the centerline.

I agree.

Turn the adjustment bolt. Make the camber ZERO for a rough adjustment and take it to the shop for fine tuning and toe adjustment.

Don't forget to roll the car back and forward a few feet to allow the tires to settle to the new adjustment between each cam movement.
