Alignment Help Needed

I took my FC to the alignment shop and got these numbers:

Front:
Caster L/R 3.7/5.0
Camber L/R 0.6/-1.7
Toe L/R 0.0/0.0

Rear:
Camber L/R -3.3/-2.9
Toe L/R 0.0/0.1

They told me that they wouldn't be able to to do the four wheel alignment because some of the numbers were too far out of spec. Thet recommended that I take it to an alignment shop that specializes in adjustments and possibly custom adjustments like trueliine here in San Diego. Any ideas what I should do.

I think that the left front has been bent somehow because that seems to be the only logical reason for me having positive camber on that side even though my car is dropped pretty low. Let me know. If anyone has any ideas that can help me out with this entire situation. I don't want to go to trueline and have to pay an arm and a leg just to get the alignment right, but at the same time I need my daily driver to have a good alignment so it doesn't eat up tires. Thanks in advance.
