I've dropped the car off with them tonight so as they can give all the parts a good squirt of penetrating fluid  |
If you only had the alignment checked (adjusted?) 3800 miles ago I would be asking why the camber is so far out on one side to kill the tyres unless you remember sliding sideways into something of course!
I would also question the need for penetrating oil after such a short timeframe from the last tweak.
If it were me I'd be tempted to ask for some guarantee that the wheel alignment is not going to scrub another £400 worth of tyres.
It will not be the first time I have heard of some super alignment machine to be giving faulty readings and the mechanic adjusting wheel alignment away from where it should be!
