Hate to say it but some tire shops just suck. Bite the bullet go to the dealer for alignment and wheel balance.
I had this happen on another brand vehicle after giving STS two chances to correct it. One trip to dealer and all was smooth sailing again.

I have had the tires balanced 3 times on the hunter road force machine new rims new tires and the alignment done had it all done 2 times. It has to be suspension related

I've battled this once for 2-3 years. It drove me insane.
Have you tried swapping out rotors?
Pulling to the right is odd though. Do you have a printout of the alignment? Most W204s can't get a perfect result as they lack the camber/caster bolt kit. Do you have that on your car? (an OEM add on)

I was told by one shop there is a metal plate up front that can become damaged but will have no visible signs to the eye but show up in the alignment numbers. Struts are also a possibility.
You need to find a good indy shop or one that works with custom suspension on Euro cars to get to the bottom of things.
I've never been able to get my car aligned properly, even after paying for the bolts on a $500-$600 alignment. I'm done with the dealer and am seeking out a good shop.

You need to go to the dealer to do an allignment, they will add some bolts to the shoks i believe. They did it on mine and bolts were free. I went to do the firsetone once to do an alignment, tech told me that mercedes alignment is a little different then all other cars. If its not alignment issue or balance, they will let you know whats wrong.

Despite the cost, bolts and dealer expertise they could never get the car aligned or the steering wheel straight at the same time.

I go to the one in somerville since i live in cambridge. I only go there for an alignment and parts like oil filter, clips, bolts that I brake, everything else i do my self. I have a trust issue with leaving my car at the indy shops. So i dont know any good shops unfortunatelly.

You got the bolts from the dealer for free? Wow. I think they charged me near $300 just for the bolts, which was a little more than the alignment charge.

Warranty will NOT pay the dealer for it. So if you got it for free, congrats, but that's a one off.
I got the labor to put it on for free after I raised enough stink, but I still had to pay for the parts.
