Default After alignment, car still pulling to the right.

I just got my 2 front tires replaced and an alignment done. Driving home while the steering wheel is straight my car drifts off to the right. Brought it in today and the results were the same. The shop says maybe its bent tie rods. Any ideas?

Post your alignment report?

Could also be tire pressure

Went back a 3rd time and a different tech re-aligned my car. Said that the tie rods weren't adjusted. Btw my car wasnt drifting, the steering column was off.

Sounds like someone wasn't doing their job the first two visits.

I've done too many alignments and the only two reasons why that would still pull is either they didn't secure the steering wheel when doing the alignment with a steering wheel holder (that goes to the wheel and the seat) or if they didn't do it to begin with.
