Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• At minimum, get an alignment once a year or when you install new tires to preserve tread life and handling.
• Check alignment after hitting curbs, potholes, or any significant road impact; damage can throw toe, camber, or caster out of spec.
• Consider inspections every 6,000–10,000 miles if you drive on rough roads frequently; frequent checks avoid accelerated tire wear and suspension stress.
• Documented alignments at a certified dealership help maintain warranty eligibility for related repairs—warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

• Your 1997 Toyota Celica GT pulls to one side or the steering wheel is off-center when driving straight.
• Uneven or accelerated tire wear—feathering or one-sided tread loss—signals misalignment.
• Steering vibration, noise, or a loose feel in the steering column indicates a need for inspection.
• After suspension work, tire changes, or impacts, have alignment checked to ensure safety and warranty compliance.
