Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine schedule: have a four wheel alignment checked at least once a year or every 12,000–15,000 miles to maintain handling and tire life.
• Event-driven checks: inspect alignment after hitting potholes, curbs, or after suspension work or new tires are installed.
• Long-term savings: regular alignments reduce uneven tire wear and suspension strain, which lowers replacement and repair costs over time.
• Warranty note: any warranty-covered steering or suspension repairs should be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Typical duration: a full four wheel alignment for a 2009 Toyota Yaris usually takes about 45–90 minutes, depending on adjustments needed.
• Inspection time: initial vehicle inspection and test drive add a modest amount of time to verify symptoms and baseline measurements.
• Complex repairs: if tie rods, control arms, or other components need replacement, total time will increase; we provide clear estimates before work begins.
• Efficient service: our factory-trained technicians use calibrated alignment equipment to complete accurate work promptly and minimize downtime.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Steering pull: the vehicle drifts left or right when driving straight, indicating misaligned toe or camber.
• Uneven tire wear: feathering or uneven tread wear across tires shows alignment issues and shortens tire life.
• Vibrations and off-center wheel: vibration at speed or a steering wheel that’s not centered when driving straight are common signs.
