Default Front End Alignment

My a4 seems to be out of alignment, pulls to the right pretty bad when letting go of the wheel.

Do you guys recommend going to the dealership (199.99) or to Belle Tire and other such local places which I am sure are much less??

Any pros and cons would be great

Thanks

Default If the car is new enough, you might be covered under warranty

Depends on why you need the alignment, of course. If you didn't create the problem, such as by bumping a curb, then it could be attributable to tire pull, an improperly aligned steering wheel or other factors that may have been caused at the factory or the car may have not been properly PDI'd.

If it's your fault, then I'd go to a real alignment shop, with guys who know what they're doing. It won't be as cheap as going to the local tire shop, but the real alignment shops should do a better job than your run-of-the-mill chain store tire shop.
