if they have the correct equipment you should get a graphical printout with red/green boxes showing the alignments that are in tolerance (green) and outside (red). It should have two sections the top being the before and the bottom being after.
When they did mine their computer still had the old tolerances and settings in it so afterwards it appeared that the new settings were outside tolerance however the guy who did them sat down with me and explained why they were red and we went through them against the 02 bulleting to make sure they were all correct.
Good Luck

At the risk of sounding a complete pleb - what exactly do they do when altering the "settings"??
And keep it simple!!!
Also......does it involve laser wheel alignment?

Should this be done at Honda and should all dealerships have the technology to do this??
I really need to know what this involves so i can speak to the Honda dealer with some kind of knowledge on the matter - cos they certainly don't seem like they have any!

Steve, in my experience the sh#t fit fitter brigade can make things a lot worse if you trust them to do an alignment.... Its well worth getting recomendations from satisfied punters before letting anyone loose on your alignment. Are there any other Honda dealers near you who may have the expertise? Failing that any good performance tuning centres?
Not all dealerships are equiped to do alignment work and they will send the car down to the nearest tyre centre - not guaranteed to meet OEM spec in my experience
