above, OR email me/search for some links of doing it yourself...
it will take some time to set up your concrete garage floor, and to set up some simple tools, like fishing line between jack stands
and a simple ref table converting degrees into so much inches over a 15-20" rim diameter....measure off the RIM like the alignment machines, NOT off tires...

Just a quick warning. Once you get the toe set, watch the tires closely. A wrong caster setting generally doesn't wear tires, a wrong camber setting will wear tires over time, but a wrong toe setting will destroy the tires very quickly.
