Is it true that setting up a car to have the alignment checked is most of the work of adjusting it too? Like you pretty much pay for an alignment regardless if it needs it.

Yes. You have to put it on a lift, level the steering wheel, attach sensors to each wheel, calibrate it, and pull up the specs for the vehicle. The actual alignment part involves then adjusting a bolt or two, unless it’s really badly out of spec.

Yes - there used to be a “check the alignment” service but that’s pretty much a thing of the past.

At least in the UK, some garages will do the free alignment check if your car is in for other work. If it's out of alignment, it's an easy upsell for them.
