Wheel Alignment?

Wheel Alignment?
My Q5 is pulling a bit to the right... needs alignment. Is there anything magic about the Q5 wheels which requires me to go to a dealer for alignment?
Or is discount tire/big O/midas whatever just fine?

Most aftermarket alignment shops do not have the proper tools and experience to align the Audi wheels (from my experience).
The way it was explained to me was that the wheels are on their own sub-assembly and the whole sub-assembly must be jigged to get them right.
I had an A4 screwed up by an aftermarket "specialist" and I had to pay twice to get it fixed.

I wouldn't take it to a national chain, but I would trust an independent Audi specialist that uses the same equipment (Hunter GSP9700) that Audi dealerships use:
