But, ugh, "within range" can be total crap. I've had plenty of alignments over the years that were "within range" but resulted in a steering wheel that was off (due to laziness, I assume), or required constant tension on the steering wheel to drive a straight line (we aligned it for crown in the road), or had each side of the vehicle at extremes of the range like positive camber on one side and negative camber on the other side.

I just try not to use places that are likely to give that sort of alignment any more.
