I’ve been to smaller shops, I’ve been to dealerships, and the only time I’ve ever gotten an alignment done right was after I complained to a general manager. I know alignments are hard with the laser machines. It shouldn’t be a problem, right? Are they just being lazy? I hate having to go back to the shop and wait another 2 to 4 hours to get something done that should’ve been done right the first time.

EDIT: I’ve had this happen with my 2001 QX4 4WD, 2019 Q50 2WD and now with 2019 Atlas AWD

    The hell of it is that isn’t anything to do with alignment, that’s just laziness about finishing the job properly. After everything moves around during an alignment, then you set the steering wheel position at the end because it sometimes will change depending on what gets adjusted.

      Yeah after doing some research I see there is a steering wheel angle sensor that should be reset. I’m going to ask them about it and if they can’t fix it I’ll try when my OBDEleven comes in and if that doesn’t work I’ll try another shop to see if it’s the shop or the car.
