Default Alignment question - is this right?

Went in for an alignment for 55 bux. They came back and said that my rear wheels both had a negative 1 camber. They said it needed to be +5. I was charged 20 bux per side for shims, so in total, my alignment was 95 bux. Sound correct?

96 accord ex, I only saw the before print out, and they didn't give me a copy

it only took the guy 20 mins to shim both back wheels, i feel like that should have been included with the the alignment

i bet all they did is remove the bolts for the upper control arms and put a washer back there to make camber more positive

That is what a shim does, don't mean to sound rude or anything. The cost of the alignment sounds right, anytime they have to go in and install anything most companies usually charge for it because they are doing more than just adjusting your camber and toe.
