I personally only get a tyre outlet to balance the wheels when fitting them. I leave the alignment task to the VW dealer or specialist.
I dont think it's got anything to do with being european - the local tyre place that the VW dealer use is no better.

I recently took my car (non vw) there for an alignment and when asked why the camber was not corrected, I was told "we dont do that, we only do toe - shims would take us too long"
Needless to say I did not pay ( guy was embaressed to ask for payment in the end), and wont be going back !
