alignment problem...

took my car to a local shop for an oil change and alignment. oil change went fine, but they said they were unable to perform an alignment.

they claimed that the camber was so off getting the toe measurement was impossible. car only has 6k miles on it...

any validity to this or are they just incompetent?

Doesn't make sense to me. Try another shop and watch them do the alignment. A lot of places are happy if they just get close to what you ask.

Inexperienced shop . Get factory alignment specs off the EvoM and take it to a more advanced shop (although they should have factory alignment specs). Anyways you dealed with some morons that couldn't align brand new car
