That sounds like lousy workman****p to me. I've come to the realization
that alignment work, like AC service, is best left to the specialists.
Dealer service, as you found out, is no guarantee for quality.
I found a local alignment shop with Hunter alignment machine. These
need regular calibrations. I would think most car dealers use the
excellent Hunter as well. So lousy workman****p is probably the only
explanation.
My view is, if they can't produce all green afterwards, they suck.
