Yep, agree this 5 minute (or for that matter a 15 minute ) job is not an alignment job per se but merely 'checking' or show-show business with a view of unjustifiably open mouth asking for RM25 payment.

Surprise that you didn't 'refuse' payment for this kind of outright cheats ??

Have you tried the second shop that does your company fleets ?

Just be aware that majority of wheels alignment jobs seems disappointing ending up with car still drifts or pulls to one side, crooked steering wheel etc 'after' wheel alignment adjustment.

Edit: TS, whats your car model in question ? Probably rear wheels are un-adjustable?

Seems to hear about good words on Kee Hin Jln Klang Lama rather often.

RM25 is considered very very cheap, considering Kee Hin's rather good reviews/reputations.

May I know adjustments on your car (what car model?) is only done on Front Wheel only with un-adjustable Rear alignment angles?

No drifts/pulls to one side with a 12 o'clock straight steering wheel after alignment?

Hmmm........... just an after-thought.

Vios Front is MacPherson suspension probably whose Front camber comes without factory adjustment camber bolts.

If you haven't installed an after-market Front eccentric camber bolts set (and the alignment shop didn't offer this option to you), then they can't adjust your Front camber. However they should be able to adjust Front toes though.

The red you remarked could have meant Front camber(s), in which the alignment shop couldn't do anything without camber bolts?

Vios Rear suspension is torsion beam type without factory adjustments unless one go for some kind of mods.

Achieving the bold above and even tyre wear is kind of the Ultimate of wheel alignment .......
which somehow appears very hard for a typical wheel alignment shop to deliver nowadays, never mind the super duper modern computerised and laser/infra red systems in use .

Kee Hin must have gotten some 'tricks' inside their pockets as opposed to most other wheel alignment shops in the market.

Thank you for the detailed and informative link on Mitsu Mirage pointing to non-adjustability to its Rear Torsion Beam suspension design.

Since you haven't paid or installed an after-market Front camber bolts before since new, then I would venture to speculate the Mirage came with factory-installed Front eccentric camber bolts ?

Agree with you that some shops simply doesn't have the skill and capability (or probably most shops) to do a picture perfect alignment job.

RM30 or thereabouts probably applies to those with one and only adjustment on Front Toes from factory like Avanza, Vios, City, Perodua Hyundais etc.

For these categories of car owners (which forms the majority) I would encourage all to acquire a set of Front eccentric camber bolts (which aren't a scam as purportedly believed) to 'make' alignment shops adjusting front cambers whenever is necessary for almost similar price point.

Most D segment cars like Optima Sonata Camry Accords etc have independent rear suspension systems like multilink or wishbones are expected to be charged a higher rates where its rear toes and/or rear cambers are adjustable, whether stock or with after-market parts like adjustable rear toe/camber arms or links.
