I had NEW tires put on (snows off the OEM rims w/ TPMS) and had an alignment done. This car had NO problems until I brought it to the dealer for its "first service". I think they break things to drum up business. Seem to happen to every car Ive owned! So: overheating, bad alignment , warped rotors, missing coolant, scratched hood ..... what next? I worry since my 3/36 B.B is up in a month or so.

If they did all that then Matanfr could be right about the dealership *screwing your car's balance and wheel alignment" ...or maybe even bent one of your rims, depending on what sort of tire machine they use.
I think I'd have one of the employees at the dealership go with you for a test drive and see what they want to do about those new problems.
