Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignment at least once a year or every 6,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first, and whenever you buy new tires or notice handling changes.
• After impacts like potholes, curbs, or collision repairs, have the alignment verified to avoid premature wear and suspension stress.
• Regular checks protect your investment: consistent alignment reduces tire replacement frequency and preserves fuel economy.
• Warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership; timely alignment at our service center helps maintain warranty coverage and service records.
