You should do your own alignment. If you're careful, it will be superior to any you will get from an alignment shop. I do my own and find it much better than the service I've gottne in the past.

There are several resources on the web that have descriptions of home-grown alignment methods. A google search will turn up a few.

I do caster and camber with a calibrated 18" carpenter level and a feeler gage stack and use a little trig to get the angle.I set the toe on the front and rear with strings outboard of the wheels that are parallel to the car centerline and a 12" machinists rule. It usually takes me most of the day to do the alignment, but I find the results infinitely superior.
