Make it personal to them. If they know you're expecting a certain performance and setup, they'll be less inclined to just throw it on the rack, dial out the toe, and call it a day.
And this is why I've found one guy who takes pride in his alignment jobs and I continue to go to him. He doesn't do "good enough" he does perfect.

This was the last alignment job we got done. Front was what really mattered but wanted 0 camber in the rear and a little toe in.
