INCOMPETENT MECHANIC ALERT! Do not patronize this moron again! They
have completely f--ked up your alignment and you should take your
car to an alignment specialist immediately before you   A) ruin
your new tires or B) get into an accident due the lousy handling.

Seriously, this guy sounds like a complete idiot. Go to a pro and
warn your friends by telling them who not to patronize.
