Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wheel alignment cost for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

• Cost depends on vehicle condition, needed adjustments, and whether additional parts (tie rods, control arms, or struts) are required.
• Courtesy Toyota of Brandon offers competitive alignment pricing and regular service specials—our franchise often costs less than independent shops while delivering factory-trained technicians and OEM standards.
• Choosing the dealership provides immediate savings through accurate adjustments and long-term savings by preventing premature tire and suspension wear.
• Any repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure authorized parts and workmanship.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Uneven or rapid tire wear on one edge or across the tread is a primary sign of misalignment.
• The vehicle pulls to one side, steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, or steering feels loose or wandering.
• Steering vibration, unusual tire noise, or reduced fuel economy can indicate alignment issues that affect handling and safety.
• If you’ve hit a curb, pothole, or carried heavy loads or towing, schedule an inspection—these events often knock alignment out of specification.
