How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Uneven or rapid tire wear—inner or outer edges wearing faster than the center is a key sign.
• Vehicle pulls to one side or requires constant steering correction while driving straight.
• Steering wheel is off-center when driving straight or you notice vibration at highway speeds.
• Poor handling or wandering during braking, or new suspension work that can alter alignment geometry.
• If you hit a curb, pothole or replace tires, schedule an alignment check to avoid accelerated wear.

Why is an alignment important for a 2026 Toyota Corolla and what are the benefits?

• Restores factory toe, camber and caster settings to ensure predictable handling and straight tracking.
• Extends tire life by promoting even wear, saving money on premature tire replacement.
• Improves fuel economy and braking stability, contributing to ongoing savings and safety.

What is included in a 2026 Toyota Corolla alignment service?

• Road test and final verification to confirm steering response and tracking are restored.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Most four-wheel alignments are completed in about 45 to 90 minutes depending on vehicle condition and needed adjustments.
• If additional suspension repairs or parts replacements are required, total time increases; we provide an accurate estimate before work begins.
• Appointments help minimize wait time; walk-ins are welcome but may require longer wait periods during busy hours.
• All alignments are performed with calibrated equipment to manufacturer tolerances for the best and longest-lasting results.

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• As a rule of thumb, check alignment annually or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, to maintain even tire wear and handling.
• Inspect alignment after hitting curbs, potholes, or after suspension or tire changes—these events can knock geometry out of spec.
• If you notice steering pull, vibration or uneven wear, schedule an immediate check rather than waiting for a scheduled service.
