Re: Spider alignment, uncentered steering wheel

[Caxambu@domain.elided]

It probably means the shop is used to doing alignments for non-Alfa types 
that don't care much whether the steering wheel is centered or not. The 
actual geometry could probably be fine, but to me, correct geometry WITH a 
centered steering wheel is what you deserve for the money, i.e. the centered 
wheel is part of the job you paid for. Take it back and courteously insist 
they do the whole job.
