Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignment annually or whenever you notice handling changes, uneven tire wear, or after hitting a curb or pothole.
• Most drivers benefit from a check every 10,000–12,000 miles or at each tire rotation—so alignment issues are caught early.
• Regular alignment preserves tire life and fuel economy, delivering both immediate savings and lower long‑term ownership costs.
• Warranty-related concerns should be addressed at a certified dealership to ensure repairs remain covered under factory warranties.
