Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignment at least once a year or every 12,000 miles; check sooner after hitting curbs, potholes, or rough roads.
• Follow tire rotation and maintenance intervals—regular checks reduce uneven wear and extend tire life, saving money long term.
• Certified dealership inspections catch suspension wear early; repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid.
