VW steering wheel alignment

The steering wheel in my 2009 VW Touareg TDI sits at 'twenty-to-two' instead of 'quarter-to-three' despite the efforts of the various tyre and 4WD places that have tried to align it for me. No one has been able get the steering wheel to sit straight and have the wheels correctly aligned, and none of them has any idea why. The car pulls slightly to the left all the time. Where could I take it to get someone to give the car a thorough inspection to see if there is anything amiss with the steering or the suspension?

Take it to a suspension specialist, not a tyre place, but someone who knows about suspensions and have them measure the wheelbase on each side and the diagonals to see if something is amiss with the chassis itself.
