Significant Technical Input
It can all be done at home, it is just a matter of accuracy. Heck, I can eyeball an alignment pretty close without any measuring tools, but if you want optimum life from a set of expensive tires....

There is obviously a reason why repair centers invest so heavily in balance and alignment equipment. How many alignments must a garage do to pay for a $40k alignment rack? Why spend the money if you can do it with a string and a stick? Gee, there must be a reason. C'mon people, get a clue.
