alignment GTC

I am new to this forum, wanted a GTC forever , got one last week, love this resource. My question is that the car pulls slightly and I wanted to get it fixed. Outside of the dealership who wants $750 where else could I go. I live in Oak Brook IL which is a suburb of Chicago.
Thanks, Bob
I will be putting up photos soon 2007 gtc blue/saffron

Also check to make sure you don't have warped rotors. Having my front rotors turned stopped the pulling completely.

Any VW dealership can easily do it as the Bentley it is VW Phaeton. Think i paid about $200 including a nice tip to the VW dealership worker. Make sure he centers your steering wheel first and it could be the electronic stuff making it 'pull' versus alignment. This is why i suggest VW dealership... or a good shop that knows VWs and have Vag-Com

I took mine to the Audi dealer. About $150.

Welcome to the fourm. I'm in Northwest Indiana. I'm looking for a good shop also. It's one called Wolfe out my way in Merrillville and a VW dealer right across from it so I'll be trying them in the near future. Whatever you find your way, please let us know.

I'm in UK. Bentley Dealership are not super expensive (charge per hour was comparable with bmw, mb, vw) however i'm not using them (Bentley Hampshire) due to poor customer service. When my steering rack went I went to some random shop after i got steering rack replaced and they:
- messed up Ackerman Compensation which means I had different lock from left to right
- Wheels where jumping tracks on full lock
- steering angle sensor was not calibrated so on motorway esp warning light would show up on dashboard.

I would recommend finding VAG indy specialist that knows and use VCDS, and use Bosch alignment rig. and make sure after work is done they did steering rack adaptation and leveling suspension adaptation after any work on suspension is done. This is standard procedure on Phaeton.
