In Sept 2014 my Honda dealer did a 4 wheel alignment. In January 2015, dealer said alignment was fine and gave me a read out of my alignment specs. Today, I went for oil change and was informed my alignment was out. They showed me the alignment chart and everything was in the red.
Told them to align all four wheel. When I brought home the receipt and recorded the service I noticed the alignment specs which they gave to me after the alignment were exactly the same readings I received in January when the alignment was fine. It maybe possible but it sets off an alarm in my mind.
Was the alignment done?
Was it necessary?
Pulling a fast one on an old retired man?
Should I bring it somewhere else to have the alignment checked?

Thanks for your input!

Your printout should have specs on it also, not just readings. Are the new ones different from the previous ones.

Thanks for the prompt response. There is an arrow point where in the range the spec is. I put a ruler on it and find all of the readings are close but may vary by a mm or two. My eyes could not really see the difference. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

You stated that the car was in spec from one place but not the other yet you say the readings were identical so were the specs different at one of the places? Something had to be different for them to say it was out of spec.
