Alignment GLK 350 4Matic

I had an alignment done yesterday at my local Mercedes dealer after having new tires installed.
The toe was alittle out prior to aligning.
They brought the toe back in, but the front left and right camber was untouched. They said thats ok and will not cause tire wear.
Is the current camber measurement ok or are they giving me a line?
They did a alignment at 22,000 miles and front camber was at -0.6(L) and -0.6(R) which is in the green.
In October they replaced both front struts/shocks under warranty. They did not align afterwards.
The GLK is 2012 with 34,000 miles.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You took care of your Glk and didn't hit any curbs, or anything to knock it out of alignment. That's good, this printout will help you on resale , keep it for your records

Yes, my wife does a very good job avoiding New England pot holes and curbs, wheel rims are spotless.
My concern was the front left and right camber out of specs (in the red) after the dealer performed the alignment.

Camber sitting at 1 degree will not cause any major wear, your toe and total toe is good. I personally would like the rear toe at .05 in the rear also. My personal GLK runs .05 camber and .05 toe in the front and 1.0 camber in the rear with toe at .05. I found these number provide me with long tire live and good highway manners.
