the car has never been same i seriously need help!
long story short. couple month ago when i had my s2k less than 1 month, it was hit by a irresponsible jerk , my friend recommended to his friend's body shop but later when the car was fixed, i had to go back to the shop about 10 times to fix the damage that was done additionally to the car by the mechanics. the shop is called Campbell's auto body shop and Quality Wheels Work in Marin County
here are the things they did additionally:
1. mess up my doors and they couldn't lock at all.
2. door penal was messed up
3. headlight was replaced with a used instead of brand new which he supposed to order.
4. ordered used bracket that support the bumper caused the misfitting of front bumper when they supposed to order new ones.
5. never done alignment when they supposed to, (the alignment was severely off after the accident)
6. front tires was miss placed,(they are directional)
7. front wheels were not balanced at all.
(these are just the problems i have found out about, i'm sure there are more to it that i don't even know about, yet!)
so my question is:
initially the car was pulling to the right, but today my mechanic (in SJ) balanced the wheels for me, did alignment, and placed the tires correctly.
now it's pulling the left and waves left to right a little. ( brand new rear tires, close to new front tires)
can someone tell me what this could be?
does anyone have time to test drive my car and help me to solve this problem? i would greatly appreciate your help
thank you very much

wow, sorry to hear
if you're free on sunday you can bring it to the BBQ/Alignment/Dyno/Dent day in Milpitas and I can check it out.
The pulling, because it changed when the tires were rotated is most likely a tire issue.
If you de come bring your alignment sheet with you.

Did you ever get your frame checked before you got the body work done? How bad was the damage on the car? It sounds pretty bad...
besides the awkward handling problem, everything looks fine.
