We just had new tires installed and an alignment completed. The car barely pulls right when accelerating and noticeably pulls left when letting off the gas and drives straight otherwise. Any thoughts?
Thank You!

Take it back ASAP and let the mechanics look at it again. Talk to a manager if they act there's no problem. The customer is always right.

This is called torque-steer, only front wheel drive cars have torque steer. It is normal and gets worse as your car ages because the tolerances in the differential are getting wider.
The only thing that can be done about it is to re-set the pinion and ring gear, and it's not worth the effort.
Live with it.

What about tire balancing? I've had that problem befor, and all they had to do is put a tiny weight on th Back of the tire to even out the balance... good luck, and you better go get it looked at :)

Sounds like your right caliper isn't working properly

Take it back and make them do it right.

sometimes the shocks are bad causing it to do that or your tie-rods are bad
