Wheel Alignment

Hello all. How much should I expect for Wheel Alignment? I noticed that my car's been pulling to LEFT. Could this be covered under warranty?

I purchased it on Jan 2009. Thank you in advance!

An alignment at my dealer runs $69.95 and they only will align for free within the first 12 months of ownership, so this may vary by dealer.

Typically alignments are not covered under factory warranties

Get a 4 wheel alignment and also check air pressure in all 4 of your tires. Unequal air pressure even on the rear can cause a car to pull. I had this happen on my BMW and it was a rear tire pressure difference of about 12 lbs.

Firestone offers lifetime alignment for about $180. I have it for both my current cars. Considering that one alignment is about $70, it's basically free after the third alignment...

I, too, tout the value of the Lifetime alignment by Firestone. I've had it on most of the cars that I have owned in the past, and currently w/my '09 Genny. She's been realigned many times by one of the local Firestone dealerships. If you catch it at the right time, they offer special prices on the alignment package. I don't think I've ever paid more than about $130 or so for the deal, but even at the $180 you quote, it's still a steal!

Is that lifetime alignment with the car itself regardless of where the tires were purchased?
I hesitate to bring my car to a place other than a Hyundai dealership due to bad experiences with tires plus I had in the past.
