Get an alignment every 12,000–15,000 miles or after hitting a major pothole, curb, or replacing suspension components. Misalignment causes uneven tire wear that can reduce tire life by 30–50% — a $100 alignment saves $300–$600 in premature tire replacement. Signs you need an alignment: vehicle pulling to one side, steering wheel off-center, or uneven tire wear patterns. Firestone's lifetime alignment ($200) pays for itself in 2 visits and includes unlimited alignments for the life of the vehicle. If your tires have uneven wear already, an alignment alone will not fix it — you may need to rotate or replace the affected tires as well.
Wheel Alignment pricing is driven by vehicle type, quality of materials, and labor rates in your area. Luxury and performance vehicles typically cost 30–50% more due to specialized parts, tighter tolerances, and the additional time required for proper work.
The cheapest option is rarely the best value when it comes to automotive work. A repair or service that fails prematurely costs you twice — once for the original work and again for the redo. Mid-range shops with strong reviews and proper warranties typically deliver the best cost-to-quality ratio.
