Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignments annually or every 12,000–15,000 miles as a baseline to protect tires and suspension.
• Check alignment after hitting a large pothole, curb, or after a collision—these events can immediately alter toe, camber, or caster.
