For virtually all vehicles, it’s necessary to get your wheels aligned periodically. Most car experts recommend scheduling an alignment every other oil change, or approximately every 6,000 miles.

How long is an alignment supposed to last?

Typically, it is recommended to get your wheels aligned every 2 to 3 years. However, to ensure the optimal safety of your car, yourself and others around you, it is best to opt for a wheel alignment every time you go to change your oil of the vehicle.

How much should an alignment cost?

A single alignment just checks one set of wheels. This will generally cost between $50 – $100 at most mechanics. A full alignment checks both sets of wheels. You should expect this to cost between $150 – $200 at most mechanics.
