"Good" is important, otherwise you may 
s well DIY.  AND there are "four wheel alignments," and then there are 
four wheel thrust angle alignments" -- one wants the latter.

With the above statement, on an early without individual four wheel adjustments, it is very hard to change the thrust angle. The reason is you can only change the total toe setting with the shims. When you add or subtract shims, you change both tires an equal amount. On a late model it is very easy to get the thrust angle changed because you can change the individual rear tires toe and camber settings.
