Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignment annually or every 10,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first, and after noticeable impacts such as hitting a pothole or curb.
• Have an alignment when you replace tires, after suspension or steering repairs, or when you feel handling changes.
• Routine alignments preserve tire life and fuel economy, producing immediate savings and avoiding larger repair bills down the road.
• Warranty-covered repairs require work at a certified dealership to retain coverage and protect long-term value.
