Help on alignment

I have a W204 C300. It was pulling to the right from brand new, the dealer insisted it was normal and did not want to align it under warranty, so I took it to an indy shop. When I got the report after alignment, it said "rear left wheel out of spec", and it showed camber is -0.7degree, while the standard spec shown on the report was between -1.0 to -2.0 degree. I asked why he did not align it to spec, and was told the camber on Mercedes is not adjustable. Is that true? or just BS? could anyone share the the alignment spec of W204 C300? Thank you.

Rear camber is not adjustable on mercedes cars. If rear camber is out, something is bent.

the left wheel did not hit anything, how could anything bent? the right wheel hit curb before but it is ok. Is -0.7 degree on rear left camber serious? The spec shows bewteen -1.0 to -2.0. Thank you.

Warranty does not cover damaged parts. You also might want to check a different shop. Some shops don't maintain their equipment, and it may be out of calibration.
