Default camber "washer trick" affect ability to adjust toe?

My 2000 Civic has been lowered and im gettin some uneven tire wear in the rear. Im planning on doing the washer trick to level out my tires but I have heard people say that shops cannot get the toe exact after doing this. does anyone know if doing the washer trick will affect a shop's ability to set the toe to exactly 0 degrees. If not, should I take this route?

If the shop can't do that then they don't know to to do aligment.

I agree.

I did the washer trick on my 95 ex, and when i had my alignment done the toe was adjusted perfectly I physically watched it being done, so i know its possible.

to bad alignment shops
