Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine guideline: check alignment every 12 months or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• Sooner if you tow heavy loads, haul frequently, or use rough roads—those conditions accelerate misalignment.
• After events such as hitting a curb, pothole, or after suspension work and new tire installation.
• Regular alignments preserve tire life and fuel economy, delivering immediate and long-term savings when performed at our dealership.
• Remember: warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain eligible.
