I've done a UK alignment at Ptuning last year and thats exactly what happened to me, the car was pulling slightly right. When a shop is aligning your front wheels they will get metal clamp thing against your seat and your steering wheel to keep it centered, and its not always perfect. When I was at sears I sat in the car to get a more precise alignment and to also grip the steering wheel dead centered, so now the car rolls exactly straight.
Also Ptuning originally quoted me $120, but charged me $100 for some reason, i thought maybe they screwed something up, but I didnt find anything.

they did run $100 specials at times... but i didnt get it in that pricing period.
i'm kind of bummed though because it seems like this can happen often and there's no real precise way of gettin it straight... this slight right pulls bug the hell out of me !!

for the PTuning folks here, the same thing happened to me (steering wheel had to be like 5 degrees to the left to keep the car going straight). i took it back, and they put it back on the machine, and let me come out to set the steering wheel where i deemed it to be "straight," and they re-aligned it. it's still not perfect, but it's pretty close. i would say i keep my wheel 1/2 or 1 degree to the left to keep from drifting right (on roads that aren't crowned).
