I just had my first alignment done at 8,500k's. Talked to Suzuki guys first..they told me to take it to JAX tyres up the road...brand new $40,000 machine. I think the dealers often don't do alignments themselves anyway.... Their specs were current and thankfully my alignment was hardly out :P
Can't imagine why you would have to take it to your dealer....

I wouldn't think too many Aussie Suzuki dealers would have wheel alignment machines? They'd most likely just drive it to the nearest tyre place and add on a bit to the cost for their efforts!

I took mine to a dealer. I see so few Kizashis around there that I want to take it to someplace that at least has seen a few of them.

Dealer here charges around 130 to do alignment while outside only charges 80 so I do mine outside

I think different car will have a different spec for the alignment, will the outside tire shops have all the spec for all the cars?

Is that mean, I need to show the spec to the tire shop?

Over here, most shops use computer based alignment systems and call up the vehicle details off that. I took the alignment specs in with me, but was told it matched what their computer said to do.
