Dealership Service Appointment - Pulling to the Right Issue

I am bringing my car to the dealership on Friday for multiple issues including the pulling to the right. Are they going to do an alignment? If so, how much should it cost? Should I let them do this or just take it to National Tire & Battery?

If <12K miles, free, once.

Otherwise 200-250. And From what I gather, it will still pull to the right. Have they done the camber bolt replacement? Didnt do sh*t for me. I take mine in to get fixed and they wont even check it - they just tell me I have to pay. Im gonna pay for 2 more allignments and then lemon the car.

I am having that issue too except mine pulls to the left. I have mine lowered via the airmatic sensor so I will raise it back to stock prior to taking it in.

Brav - Can you elaborate on the alignment < 12K miles? I am at 10K and if I can get a free alignment I better take it in real soon.

You are alloted one allignment so long as you come in under 12K miles (and 1 year I think). After that, no freebies. Yep, get 'er in.

I don't know why they have that time frame - I guess they figure anything beyond that is user-related.

Hey,also get yourself a digital tire pressure gauge and make sure they are all set to the same pressure and see if that helps improve it. It does on mine..
