This happens a lot,,"the garage won't have done anything" scrub your new tyre's in and get a new Geo done
I would suggest you consider Ray's opinion, apart from the fact he knows his stuff, your steering wheel no longer being straight suggests something quite 'dramatic' has happened to your car. Having to 'turn' to the left to steer straight is a big concern, and unless you have a 'flat' tyre then something has happened and the garage people have caused it, as suggested by Daytona above.

I can't see how the garage or a tyre change would have caused the wheel alignment to be out...unless they managed to drive your car off the side of the ramp!
I would think one of your tyres is not as it should be. As a simple check, swap your wheels left to right to see if the car now veers the other way

Just. Do. New. Geo.
You can't put new tyres on and expect the geo to match them perfectly or vice versa.
It's a sports car - maintain it like one.

it makes sense that geo on worn tyres would be different to new
it's usually cheap to just get geo checked (rather than setup)
i have never experienced this but thinking about when i get my geo done it's usually been on new rubber, every couple of years.. although it needs doing now and the tyres are ok i think...
hmm
