Default dealer cant allign my car right

this will be the fourth overall time ive had my car re-alligned and this is the third time bny the dealer! i went through a set of front tires in about 3000 miles and they were slick by the time i went back to the dealer. They told me at first that i was doing burn outs in my car, and i replied thats a bunch of BS! so the manager looked at the allignment specs and the first time they alligned it they didnt set it back to spec. Thats what rubbed my tires bald. The second time i went in they replaced the tires and re-alligned the wheels, but it still pulls to the right. SO.. i went back in and they told me that it was SUPPOSED to pull to the right and i was shocked to say the least. i told them they were full of it bc the rental car they gave me drives just fine with no pull whats-so-ever to either side. now when i go to pick my car back up today im going to go test drive a new tc and see if it pulls to the right. does anyone else's tc pull to the right with the allignment supposedly set right? And if they cant fix it thats means for a new one right>?

Actually, my car pulls to the right a small bit (enough to where I can't let go of steering wheel and just let it go strait), and when i took it in the first time, they said allignment checked out, rotated tires, and problem was fixed. I still had exact same issue. I took it back a few months later and he said it's on spec and that the car just pulls right slightly and is also dependant on roads. Of course, the latter is true, I do suspect BS on the former statement though.

Mine pulls to the right (alittle, from pot holes and shatty roads).... but it didnt when I first got it.

As stated above it could be the roads, but when I drive my wife's car (on the same roads) I really dont feel any pull...

Leads me to question.

Are you able to try another dealer for the alignment? Just explain to them what's going on and see if they can get it right.

And yes... mine does pull a tiny bit to the right.
