Is it aligned ?
Is it aligned ?
That looks like the before measurements, going by the options listed on the bottom. You should get a before and after printout.
You need a real alignment shop to do it right. If you're at a good shop the tech should get the work order, jump in the car and drive it, pull it in the shop, align it, go for another ride.
Most chain stores try to get off easy by adjusting toe, or nothing at all. I've seen it myself, and had to go out of my way by an hour to have it done right at a real shop.

The only number I don't like is the L/F camber. On those cars the adjusters are underneath. Castor being a tad high but equal means nothing in the real world unless there's a definite pull one way or the other.
If that's the before then it's not to far off at all, a good alignment guy can get it where you want it. I'd have them shot for a little bit of negative camber on the passenger side(under -.5 like driver side) and get the caster down into the +4.5 to +5.5 range on both sides.
Yes,.....
You or your insurance company paid to have the accident damage fixed.
This would include the alignment as part of the repair. They returned the car to
you and the repair was not complete. Take it back to them and have them fix it.
