Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Inspect alignment annually or every 12,000 miles as a baseline; driving style and road conditions can require more frequent checks.
• Have an alignment checked after hitting potholes, curbs, or after suspension or tire work (new tires, struts, or control arms).
• For a 2020 Toyota 86 with sporty rear‑wheel setup, seasonal checks and alignment after track days preserve handling and tire life.
• Coggin Toyota at the Avenues offers complementary inspections and can recommend an interval tied to your driving habits and tire condition.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Vehicle pulls left or right, or the steering wheel sits off‑center when driving straight.
• Uneven or accelerated tire wear — inner or outer shoulder wear indicates misalignment.
• Vibration through steering, poor handling, or sudden drop in fuel economy.
• If you notice squealing on turns or the car wanders at highway speeds, schedule an inspection at our dealership.
