Car swerving to the right, steering wheel to the left?!?

If your steering wheel is not centered when you are traveling straight down the road, then whoever did the alignment screwed up. I don't care if they were an 'expert' or a dealership, they screwed up . . Period. As far as pulling to one side, there are numerous possible causes besides alignment (bad tire, over/under-inflated tire, dragging brake, bad wheel bearing, etc.), but given that your alignment was not done properly, my first guess would be to start there.

By the time i got to the shop, the wheel was practically at a 45 degree angle while going straight.
Fixed alignment, double-checked bolts and voila. Everything is fixed again. And yes, i still hit that same dip without issue.
Worst-case, your caster is totally off on one side. Sadly that can't be adjusted in OEM-spec.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think the steering wheel itself is off-centered....I had the whole wheel replaced due to chipping and it seems like it may not have been put on properly. As for the car swerving to the right, I called up the dealership and they said to bring the car back in and they'll take a look at it. I am inclining towards it being something else....as the problem hasn't gone away after 3 alignments at 3 separate shops. Fingers-crossed.
