Is Alignment Covered by the Warranty?

All:

My 2010 C300 Luxury is pulling to the right. My cousin is a mechanic and put the car in the machine and it shows the the car needs be aligned. My Car only has 33,000 miles. Would the Warranty covers the Alignment? Has anyone had this experience with the dealership? Please let me know your thoughts. I'm in the NY area any Dealership recommendations. .

I don't think so. Call a dealer and ask, just to make sure, I guess.

Does anyone have an idea how much would cost to have the car aligned? I know it's difficult that each dealer sets his own price but an average. Would it void my warranty if I take some place's else?

Alignment should cost anywhere from $50-150

Your cousin had 50-percent of the alignment done buy putting it on the machine. Why didn't he just do the alignment?

He thought if he would move something he would void my warranty.

If you go to Sears you can buy the alignment warranty package for $160 which gives you unlimited alignments for 3 years. I've already had it done 3 times with this package. (my car is lowered so it requires an alignment every 3K to save my tires).
