• Look for uneven or accelerated tire wear, cupping, or feathering patterns on tread surfaces.
• If the truck pulls to one side, vibrates, or the steering feels loose or unstable, scheduling an inspection is recommended.
• Impact events—hitting a curb or pothole, heavy towing, or suspension repairs—are common triggers for immediate alignment checks.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• A standard four-wheel alignment typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes when no additional suspension repairs are required.
• If worn or damaged components are found, the job can take longer; our technicians will provide an estimate before proceeding.
• We schedule to minimize wait time and often combine alignments with other maintenance or service specials—see our Service Specials.
• Warranty-related repairs should be done at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper documentation.

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine guidance is to check alignment at least once a year or every 12,000–15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• Check alignment after installing new tires, after hitting curbs or potholes, after suspension work, or if you notice steering or wear symptoms.
• For trucks that tow frequently, periodic checks are prudent—towing loads and heavy use can accelerate misalignment.
• Keeping alignments current at a certified dealership preserves warranty status for repairs and maximizes long-term savings.
