Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Follow a routine inspection every 6,000–10,000 miles or at every oil change; aggressive driving, heavy loads, or frequent potholes can require more frequent checks.
• Signs like uneven tire wear or drifting indicate an immediate need—don’t wait for the mileage interval to act.
• Regular alignments prevent premature tire replacement and suspension damage, delivering measurable long‑term savings over independent shops while giving factory-level service.
• Warranty-covered steering or suspension work must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure genuine parts and trained technicians.

Why is an alignment important for a 2013 Ford E-Series Wagon E-350 and what are the benefits?

• Proper alignment ensures even tire wear, safer handling, and predictable steering—critical for passenger vans carrying people or cargo.
• Correct alignment improves fuel efficiency and extends tire life, translating to measurable savings compared with patching uneven wear later.
• Wheel alignment reduces strain on suspension components, lowering the risk of costly repairs down the road and preserving vehicle value.
• Choosing dealership service means factory-trained technicians use OEM procedures, and any warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

How much does a wheel alignment cost for a 2013 Ford E-Series Wagon E-350?

• Costs vary with vehicle condition and required adjustments, but our dealership frequently offers competitive pricing that can be lower than independent shops when you factor in quality and warranty protection.
• We emphasize both immediate savings and long-term value—proper alignment prevents premature tire replacement and suspension repairs, reducing lifetime ownership costs.
• Ask about current service specials and package pricing that combine alignment with inspections or tire services for additional savings.
• Remember that any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and ensure genuine parts and factory-trained service.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Typical alignment jobs take 60 to 90 minutes when no additional repairs are needed; complex inspections or replacement of worn parts will increase time.
• We perform a full steering and suspension inspection, measure current settings, make precise adjustments to all four wheels, and verify handling with a road test.
• Scheduling an appointment helps minimize wait time; our certified technicians work efficiently using dealer-grade equipment to return your vehicle quickly and correctly.
• If warranty-related repairs are required, those must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure use of OEM parts and procedures.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Look for uneven or rapid tire wear, the vehicle pulling left or right, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or vibrations at speed.
• After hitting a curb or pothole, an alignment check is recommended even if no symptoms are obvious; hidden misalignment can cause hidden costs.
• Routine inspections at each service visit catch alignment drift early and avoid the expense of replaced tires or suspension repairs later.
• Having alignment checks and repairs done at our dealership ensures work is performed to factory specifications and that warranty work remains valid when required.
