How Often Should You Get Alignment & Balancing?
Wheel Alignment: Every 6,000-10,000 Miles or Annually
Most manufacturers recommend alignment checks at least once per year. Consider alignment sooner if you hit a pothole, experience a collision, or notice signs of misalignment. Highway 101 and local Sonoma County roads are notorious for potholes – don't ignore alignment issues.
Tire Balancing: Every 5,000-6,000 Miles or with Tire Rotation
Balance your tires whenever you rotate them (typically every 5,000-6,000 miles). New tires should be balanced before installation. If you feel vibrations between rotations, request a balance check.
After New Tire Installation
Always balance new tires and consider a complimentary alignment check if tires wear unevenly or you notice any pulling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wheel Alignment & Tire Balancing
What's the difference between wheel alignment and tire balancing?
Alignment adjusts the angle of your wheels to ensure they're parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Balancing distributes weight evenly around the tire to eliminate vibrations. Both are essential for vehicle performance.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most 4-wheel alignments take 60-90 minutes. We'll give you a time estimate when you call or book online. Many customers use our waiting area or nearby amenities while we work.
Will alignment fix my steering wheel vibration?
Alignment addresses steering issues caused by wheel angles. However, steering wheel vibration is often caused by imbalanced tires. We'll inspect both and recommend the right solution. Usually, vibration is fixed with balancing.
Do I need alignment if I just need balancing?
Not necessarily. If you feel vibrations only at certain speeds, balancing will fix it. If your vehicle pulls to one side or tires wear unevenly, you need alignment. We'll diagnose the real issue.
Can you align all-wheel-drive vehicles?
Yes! We align all vehicle types, including AWD, 2WD, trucks, and luxury vehicles. All-wheel-drive alignments require specialized knowledge – our ASE technicians have the expertise.
What's included in your alignment service?
Our comprehensive alignment includes: computerized wheel angle inspection, suspension adjustment, TPMS check, visual suspension inspection, before/after documentation, and a 6-month warranty on the alignment.
Why do I see potholes causing alignment issues on Highway 101?
Highway 101 and Sonoma County roads experience seasonal weather that creates potholes. These impact your suspension and knock wheels out of alignment. If you've hit a pothole or bump, we recommend a free alignment check.
How much can a bad alignment cost me?
Poor alignment causes uneven tire wear, reducing tire life by 25-30%, which can result in costly premature tire replacement. Bad alignment also reduces fuel efficiency. Regular alignments prevent these expensive problems.
