Default Wheel alignment - do you leave your car?

G'day fellas,

Just curious how you go about trusting your car to workshops for wheel alignments or replacing tyres? Do you leave it with them or camp out at the workshop until it's done?

The reason I ask, my ute has a warm cam and heads, and while it's not the most powerful thing out there, due to the cam you can tell the motor's not stock.

I've got a couple of mates in my area who had a coupe of experiences where their modified cars have either been unnecessarily taken for joyrides, or at worst been witnessed being flogged around town after leaving them for wheel alignments etc.

Given you often drop cars off in the morning and it could be done any time during the day, it's almost impossible to get it done while you wait as you could be there all day.

What approach do you guys take?
