Factory does the wheel alignment before sending it out.

Generally they do one at 1000/5000/10000 km depending on the vehicle.

Because of 95% wheel alignment machine operators in SL are not educated well regarding the subject and having no tacit knowledge and common scenes required to do it, better to use with original settings if you have no issue with uneven tire wear or any other issue.

The local centers use wheel -alignment as ah means of tyre sales as they deliberately ais align to increase tyre wear.  

And when confronted with abnormal wear, they advise to replace them,...

I always check them with agents at the time of service on their recommended intervals. If you are going to get it done at your friendly tire shop make sure they use the correct spec. i.e. Car Manufacture, model, with year and other spec like 1.3L/1.6L etc. as there are small differences.
