...and demand that whatever shop you use adheres as strictly as possible to the specs you select from the menu as best suiting your needs.

Ask for good before and after printouts from thier alignment computer. You might also inquire here about a fair labor charge for rear adjustments so you have an idea of how hard they are hitting you for any if needed after they get it checked. I'll toss a wild guess out of 1 hr per side for shims? With no rust issues?
