Steering wheel off-center
Maybe this should be in under the hood, but I figured that the most knowledgeable alignment people would be in here. Please feel free to move it if you think UTH is more appropriate for the question.
My car has the Honda spec alignment right now. The car tracks straight, handles fine, tire wear is fine. But in a straight line, the steering wheel is off-center by maybe 10-15 degrees. I am the second owner of the car. I don't have any reason to believe that the steering wheel has ever been removed.
I'm going to a tire place to get an autoX alignment tonight. Is the off-center steering wheel something that I should ask the alignment tech to correct as he redoes the alignment? Or is there another way to fix it?

He should automatically correct it as part of the alignment. The alignment prolly got messed up and that is why the steering wheel is not straight. Just mention to him that the steering wheel is off a bit. If he can't straighten the wheel out, he is either a moron or you got more serious problems.
