Arrow Quick alignment question

Hey guys,,

Did some searching, havent really come to a definite answer,,


Some alignment places / people say bmw only place that can do it cause you have to load the car etc,


Others say they have gone to tire shop chains etc and came out fine.


The place i wanted to go to has a hunter hawkeye machine, but he said he couldnt do the X ( i want to take it there anyway if i insist i want it done and he will do it ) but he said he didnt have "proper equip".


So basically can i get a good alignment without the "loading" or whatever special procedure is supposedly needed, and also have read its the toe that kills the inside of the tires,, so if i go to this shop, get my toe set as close to zero as possible, and i can keep the factory camber?

Last thing is, does it matter if my current tires are worn when i go get my alignment (only in rear), or it wont matter really? In the next month planning on getting new ones, but still want to finish these off good.
