Default 05 A6 Alignment Questions/Rant

Yes, I searched.

<rant>
So I've owned my car for a year now and lately have been noticing some strange tire wear that wasn't visible when I bought the car and an ever-so-slight pull to the right. Took my car to a generic tire, alignment, lube shop that was close to my work and cheap. They looked at the tires and said that yes, I do indeed need an alignment, which I already knew of course. They took my car and I proceeded to wait in the waiting room. An hour and a half later they come get me and take me to my car, try to tell me something in heavily accented English and try to convince me that my car is a 2004 model because the door jamb says it was built in 2004. My car is a 2005. Their computer system does not have a 2005 A6. They have 1996-2004 and 2006-2007. Since my door said 2004, they were using those specs. Furthermore, they told me that the rear camber on my car is not adjustable because the computer system does not have specs for it. I have a hard time believing this. So, not only were they not able to adjust the rear camber, they adjusted the of the stuff to 2004 A6 specs. I was made to pay full price.

So the Questions..

1. Is the 2005 A6, 4.2L, Quattro, Sports Package, rear camber adjustable?
2. Are the 2004 A6 (different body style obviously) alignment specs different from the 2005 (same as 06/07 right?) specs for all camber, caster and toe?
3. Where can I find those numbers? Could I, in theory, just hand them the numbers and tell them to adjust my car to those specs?



On a side note, my car just rolled past 100K. Yes it's a 2005. It was a steal a year ago and have had practically zero problems since. Love it! The 4.2L is awesome!
