Mike,

Honestly they should center the wheel as part of the alignment...not
as an extra.

Something you may want to consider is having it re-checked. It's so
much easier to do that then trying to adjust your steering wheel or
box.

 I found a great deal @ Firestone where you can buy a "Lifetime
Alignment". Pay a little extra for the first time, then you NEVER have
to pay for an alignment for that vehicle again! (I have no affiliation
w/ Firestone
