I couldn't get the sound to work, but yeah, align it yourself. Start with measuring that the axles are straight with the truck and centered side to side. Then set your toe in. I align my semi with a string and tape measure. Yes, I wrecked some tires learning, but at least I wasn't paying someone to wreck them for me. Also, your wheel bearings need to be tight to align it. They need to be on the tight side of acceptable bearing movement, your seals will last longer also.
