I skidded into a curb lost alignment

Hi in the snow, i skidded my 99 max (no ABS) into a curb and the (steel 15") front riht wheel got slightly bent, and the steering wheel was pointed to the right when i was going straight. So i went to a tire place bought 2 new bfgoodrich all weather tires. and put them in the front. the guy fixed the bent rim and put it in rear, and did an alignment, i asked him why he did it without a computer and he said maxima alignment is done without computer, he just loostened a bolt near wheel, drove and came back and tightened it.

is that all i need?

An alignment can be done without a computer. If your car runs straight then done worry about it. Ususally they just adjust the toe. If your parts are worn, or damages then they may have to adjust camber. There is a write-up in the FAQ section.

Firestone sells lifetime wheel alignment. I paid ~$190 with lifetime wheel balancing and rotation. Also, You can get $20 discount if you open a credit card with them.
