my car had its tracking done about august as it was pulling to the right slightly, the local tyre centres around here would not touch it, as apparently to do it properly you need some special kit that the dealer has. Some normal tyre centre will do it but it wont be spot on, that's why most declined as they said they will do but it wont be perfect. I took mine back to the dealer where i got my car from , it took them about 3 hours to do it. They said it needs to be tracked using a laser or some kind of optical device, I cant remember the exact thing they said now but they did it spot on. It didnt cost me anything because told them not happy that such an expensive car should lose its tracking so quick, even when the wheels have never been kerbed, they first blamed it on the british roads being poor and said its quite normal for every cars tracking to go out, but when i offered them to drive my 5 year old vectra with 100k on it, told them Ive had that car since new and was about 1/4 of the price i paid for the a6 and that never suffers from the poor british road, they were happy to correct the problem for free.
