If you do work like this at home you can often get the alignment close enough for the drive to the alignment shop by taking precise measurements before disassembly, paying attention to the amount of turns on end joints etc…
The best option is still to trailer it to an alignment shop, ofc.
If you’re really careful you can do the whole thing yourself with some string and a yardstick and hand tools. Especially when a lot of cheap cars will only have an adjustable toe angle and only the front of the car.
In my defense, I was going to take it to the shop down the road (~3 miles) but they were backed up for a week.
That’s a good defense :)
