• Proper alignment ensures predictable handling, safer cornering, and a centered steering wheel, especially important for a full-size SUV like the 2026 GMC Yukon.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Common signs include uneven or rapid tire wear, a pulling sensation to one side, a crooked or off-center steering wheel, and vibration at highway speeds.
• Reduced fuel economy and a change in handling feel—looser steering or wandering—also indicate alignment issues that should be inspected promptly.
• If your Yukon hits a pothole, curb, or is involved in an impact, schedule an alignment check; delaying inspection increases repair costs and tire replacement frequency.
• Bring your vehicle to our certified technicians for a precise diagnosis; any warranty claims for related repairs must be handled at a certified dealership to remain valid.

• Most standard four-wheel alignments are completed within 45–90 minutes, depending on vehicle condition and necessary adjustments.
• If additional suspension or tire repairs are required, time may increase; our service advisors will provide an updated estimate before work begins.
• Factory-trained technicians at Coggin Buick/GMC of Orange Park use calibrated equipment to deliver efficient, accurate service—saving you time and avoiding repeat adjustments.
• We recommend scheduling online or by phone; same-day appointments are often available and any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• General guidance is to check alignment at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, but inspect sooner if you notice steering issues, uneven tire wear, or after impacts.
• New tires, suspension replacements, or towing heavy loads are triggers for a follow-up alignment to maintain handling and tire life.
