Don't make this too complicated for the poor shmuck.

Just tell him to pull the car in, measure camber, then back the car out, turn it around, back it in, and re-measure. The AVERAGE of the 2 numbers he reads on each corner should be accurate. The difference will tell him the camber slope of the garage.

Unless the slab has different camber slope at the two ends of the garage. :D

And he called ME a geek! :lol:

I was assuming that the floor wasn't perfectly smooth/ planar; that's why I gave him the Tom Hoppe method.
