****in' Goodyear. 
I bought some tires and they did a free alignment check, told me it was way off and void tire warranty if I didn't get it..blah blah blah....
Long story, short, my car drove straight as an arrow before they aligned it and now it pulls to the right. I've checked tire pressure, considered the possibility of radial pull by switching tires (front to back) and it still pulls and they say there's nothing they can do about it unless I buy a camber bolt?
I think the tech is ****in' high or their **** isn't calibrated correctly. Anyone got a suggestion on trusted places to go to for alignments. Sux I'll probably have to pay for it again if I can't get these guys to fix it.
Only suspension mod thus far is Whiteline steering rack bushings.

does it actually pull or is the steering wheel off center?
Camber is already adjustable on the front, and rear camber adjustments arent possible on the rear 'till you put on a bolt, and even then rear camber won't cause a pull.
If you've got a copy of your printout, paste it up on here

Rear suspension settings on the readout are/were within specs already and front is within specs now. The front was what was off before though. The steering wheel was off center when I did the steering rack bushings but it still drove straight when I let go of the wheel. I was planning on straightening it on my own but decided to get tires and let them do it with the alignment.

If it actually is a pull, which way is it pulling? -3 to -5 split on the caster is acceptable to counter road crown, anything other/additional to that from camber/caster will cause a pull
