Hello

I brought the car at the dealership for a routine alignment. The car doesn't pull right or left but I like to do this after replacing the tires myself.

My question is, how can you check if the shop did indeed make the alignment? Is there some indicator to this?

Thanks

Mike

if the car goes straight is a good indication or if it feels different then when you drove it there. to get real technical you can look at the adjuster nuts on the outer tie rod ends and see if you see fresh wrench marks, usually a alignment shop will give you a printout of before and after. **getting a alignment does not neccessarily mean they adjusted anything it just means they installed the alignment cameras and checked the alignment, if the alignment was ok then they may not have had to adjust anything but they will still charge you for the alignment because they had to go through all the procedures. hope this helps
