Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Manufacturer guidance: check alignment at regular service intervals and after every tire change or rotation; many drivers inspect alignment annually.
• After impacts: get an alignment after hitting curbs, potholes, or after accidents that affect steering or suspension.
• Usage factors: heavy cargo, frequent highway driving, or rough roads may require more frequent checks—every 6–12 months is common.
• Preventive care: regular alignments extend tire life and improve fuel economy, creating immediate and long-term savings when done at our dealership.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Typical time: a complete four wheel alignment usually takes 45–90 minutes depending on adjustments needed and vehicle condition.
• Diagnostics: time includes a full steering and suspension inspection, computerized measurements, and test driving if required.
• Additional repairs: if tie rods, ball joints, or suspension parts need replacement, total time increases; we’ll provide a clear estimate before work begins.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Steering symptoms: vehicle pulls to one side or the steering wheel is off-center while driving straight.
• Uneven wear: tires show scalloped, feathered, or uneven tread wear compared to remaining tire life.
• Ride and handling: vibrations, wandering, or loose steering feel—especially after impacts—indicate alignment or suspension issues.
