Took my '07 Prius to a local dealer, to have the alignment looked at (usual "pulls to the left" stuff).

I was all anxious, what with having bought the car in the US and all. Turns out I was getting worked up over nothing. The dealer here in BC could not have been friendlier (even asked me if I got a good deal in the US...).

Long story short - the problem was diagnosed as the steering wheel not being properly centered. It was promptly fixed, I got a free car wash, and that was that. Warranty covers it all.

Dispelling yet another myth about importing a car from the US.

I was thinking of taking mine in for the same reason. The steering when going straight is slightly off centre.

Now i just don't know what dealer to take it to. The larges lexus toyota dealer that's part of a network of makes or the local dealer that also does a lot of other ventures on the side.
