From the sound of it something got slightly bent. If I had to guess I'd think the tie rod on that side. If the tire got hit laterally hard enough to blow out, the tie rod likely bent. The vehicle would still track straight, but the steering wheel will be crooked and the tires will wear accordingly. Since the vehicle is driving stable, the tires would be toe'd in rather than out, so would wear the outer edge of the tires.

Tell them what happened and have it inspected for bent parts before telling them to align it, otherwise they won't find the bent parts untill they are doing the alignment and you will need another alignment after the repairs.
