Funny you should mention this!

There is currently a discussion, OK argument, on the 944 mailing list about
this very subject.

You can certainly learn to do your own alignments.  You need to be patient
- especially while learning.  For the cost of about 4 alignments you could
get a Smart Camber Gauge and toe plates.  You will need to set some string
or thin wire up to be able to measure thrust angle.  But, you should be
able to get repeatable results to within 1/16-1/32".
