When Should I Get a Wheel Alignment?

3 min read

Alignment is one of those services people skip until something obvious goes wrong — usually a set of tires worn out well before their time.

The clear signs

  • The vehicle pulls to one side on a flat, straight road
  • Your steering wheel is off-center when driving straight
  • One edge of the tread is wearing much faster than the rest
  • The steering feels loose or wanders

The times you should align even without symptoms

  • After installing new tires
  • After suspension or steering repairs
  • After hitting a significant pothole or curb
  • Roughly once a year as preventive maintenance

Why it pays for itself

A set of tires is a real expense. An alignment is a fraction of that cost and can be the difference between getting the full life out of the set or replacing it early with the inside edges worn down to the cords.
