Default 01 accord coupe ex v6 brake/alignment question

bought the car from honda pre-cert and a month after getting it, i needed a master cylinder which they did not cover. now i have a question about my brakes. my car would always lean towards the right (since i got it) and then i brought it to honda and they said it was the back rotors and that was pulling it to the right and making the wheel car shake when i brake. i get the car back and it feels the same and now they say i need 2 front rotors and brake pads which I asked to check last time and they said it was ok. The 2 front rotors did not help so I brought it somewhere else for a wheel balance and 4 wheel alignment. i get that done and im still having problems with it pulling to the right and wheel shaking. they come back this time with that i "smashed into something and bent my 2 right side rims and it would cost $2000 to replace". i did not hit no such thing and if anything it would of happend when the person had it before i bought it since I came to the conclusion no precert inspection was done. does anyone know what is wrong with my car so i could just do it myself or go back to them with exact details because i am tired of the bs and running back and forth and on top of that wasting my money since the extra warranty i bought doesn't cover anything.

when you replaced the rotors did you replace the pads too?
-pads and rotors should always be replaced together (in my opinion) because if the rotors are warped, they will make your pads wear unevenly, or if your pads have uneven wear, they will warp your new rotors as well...also, does this problem only occur under braking? or does it occur during both acceleration, braking? or does it occure during braking, acceleration and cruising?

personally, i'd call honda's corporate office and complain about the dealership that was doing the "repairs", since it sounds like this service center is screwing you over.
