Go for a second opinion on alignment...your tie rods may...

need to be adjusted on both sides after centering the steering rack.
You can have a perfectly aligned car but a skewed rack, i.e. the rack isn't centered, in plain English, number of turns from center to lock to the left does not equal to number of turns from center to lock to the right (doesn't take much to give you a skewed steering wheel, an extra millimeter on the tie rod can do that).
You need to find a good alignment place that knows what to do.
First, the person has to center the rack with the steering wheel dead center. (If the rack is centered and the steering wheel is not then they have to reposition the steering wheel and that's your cause. For a new car, this is rare but could happen.)
Then adjust tie rods on BOTH sides to specifications with the rack LOCKED AT CENTER. What this does is to enable the car going straight down a flat road with the steering wheel at dead center.
Make sure all camber angles are correct. If you have more camber on the left or the right, there is a tendency for the car to drift to one side.
Good luck and let us know.
