Had my tracking done last Friday the car was pulling to the left so took it back and thay checked it an I checked it and it wa spit on the steering wheel was strate and every thing was showing bob on but when I drive the car with the steering wheel strate it pulls to the left any thirst on this
Had I part worn tyre fitted to drivers side at same time and pressure in both wheels are the same
Is some thing bent in th steering rack????

Did they check the tracking on the rear wheels? They're non adjustable, but the stub axles could be bent and the car may be crabbing.
-
Are they using the two laser alignment tools on the front or using all 4 on the rear too? Some are awful for tracking up the front wheels but not aligning with the rear, sometimes they will drive straight and spot on with the wheel slightly off centre, in which case, the best way around it is to remove the wheel and move it on the splines.

Just did the front not only cost me £15 might get a 4 wheel done when iv got a some cash lol
-
Always line it up to the rear, as the front may well be towing correctly but doesn't mean the rear is following the front, the car will be trying to drive at a slight diagonal, If they lock the wheel with the tool, set the correct toe, and line up to the rear, there is no reason why it wont drive in a straight line, worse case, steering wheel needs to come off to get it straight, but usually only if its been off before and messed up.
