Default Alignment questions

How often/ many miles should I get an alignment done?

Where can I go to get one of those lifetime alignment plan deals?

tip:

contrary to what everybody thinks you will rarely need an alignment done to your car. the "pulling" from left to right or right to left is normal for cars. you should only get an alignment if you are getting uneven tire wear or you just modified your suspension.

what he said. only time you need to get an alignment is if you were in an accident or hit a big ass rock/pothole. the pulling to one side is caused most of the time by the crowning of the road.

so test it on flat level ground. once in a while you may need to get an alignment after new tires but that's pretty rare.
