If they are going to do a proper alignment ask them to load the seats up with the weight that is normally in the car. I had my car corner weighted and aligned with just my weight in the drivers seat. Then on the Sunday I did a club run (with my other half in the passengers seat as well as stuff in the boot). However on the Monday when I did a track day the car had just the weight in as when it was corner weighted and aligned it was a completley different car to the club run. It was well worth the money and time.
