Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine guideline: every 12,000–15,000 miles or at least once a year, though driving habits and road conditions can require more frequent checks.
• After impacts: have an alignment checked after hitting potholes, curbs, or after an accident to prevent accelerated tire and suspension wear.
• When replacing tires or suspension parts: alignments should follow tire installation, strut/shock replacement, or steering repairs to meet OEM specs.
• Cost benefits: regular alignments reduce premature tire replacement and save fuel, producing immediate and long-term savings compared with skipping service.
• Warranty note: any warranty-covered repairs or alignments must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Steering pull: the vehicle drifts to one side even when the wheel is centered indicates misalignment.
• Uneven tire wear: inner or outer edges wearing faster than the rest of the tread is a classic sign.
• Vibration or steering wheel shake: noticeable at highway speeds can signal alignment or balancing issues.
• Poor handling: loose steering, wandering, or unusual road feedback suggest alignment or suspension attention is needed.
• Inspection advantage: our technicians will inspect tires and suspension and recommend alignments only when necessary to avoid unnecessary costs.
