Default Question about alignment

Recently I was talking with a local VW/Audi shop on the phone about installing springs and shocks. I asked about an alignment. He said that there was no alignment for my car as only the toe is adjustable, not the caster and camber. He said an alignment would only be necesary if the car bottomed out really hard or something.

Any validity to this? I am not getting anythign installed there BTW, just wondering. I had been planning on getting an alignment just to be safe anyway.

Default To angle will change a lot from when you're say stock and then go really low

so you do need an alignment...rear camber is adjustable...rear toe is adjustable...front toe is adjustable, camber can be balanced, but it's a chore (shifting the subframe).
