I have found that 'shops' are lacking alignment expertise. I plan to visit the dealership, at an added cost I am sure. And I must also prepare myself for the 'up sale' of maintenance.
Sorry, but that’s financially irresponsible. Don’t be “penny-wise and pound foolish.” I would not consider that fact a point of pride. An owner should ALWAYS have the alignment checked immediately after new tires are installed. Otherwise you could be spending good money after bad. Also, rotations AND spin balances should be done every 6 to 8K miles and tire pressure should be maintained at the door jamb sticker pressure - always checked when tires are cold - in the shade.
Alignment on the back? Should have been a four wheel alignment…
In my experience in a city with 5 Honda dealerships, none has their own alignment equipment or personnel. They send customers' cars to an indy alignment shop.
No apology necessary, you can keep spending your money on alignments and balancing tires and I’ll keep doing what has severed me well for the last 30 years. Perhaps they don’t maintain the roads where you live? Or perhaps you drink all the kool-aid served up at the local tire shops? Either way… to each their own.
