Ask for a print-out. Getting a steering wheel centred perfectly isn't quite as easy as it sounds but you can still have a perfect set of alignment numbers with an off-centre steering wheel.

As far as the printout goes, it should show you min and max for every value... A good aligner will not only shoot for that range, but try to get the car as even as possible both sides as well.

I did get a print-out, the alignment itself is OK. Took the car in again yesterday to get the steering wheel centred, but it's still off. I'm not going to waste any more of my time taking it back though.

Is the steering off or does it have free play?

No free play, just off-centre.

Al does great work, he gave me a superb alignment when I did the suspension/sway bars on my TSX. Alvin is also installing a few more go fast goodies on my SRT-4 in June.

I will be going back for another alignment since my suspension has settled after lowering. Car felt real good after my first one, hopefully this one will be just as good.
