Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wheel alignment cost for a 2018 Volvo S60?

• Costs vary by condition and location; at Park Place Volvo we price alignments competitively to deliver immediate savings compared with many independent shops.
• Our quoted price typically includes a full inspection, adjustments, and a test drive; any discovered repairs are quoted separately and covered under warranty only when performed at a certified dealership.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Pulling to one side, off‑center steering wheel, or uneven steering response are common steering alignment indicators.
• Uneven or rapid tire wear—feathering or scalloped tread—signals misalignment that shortens tire life and increases replacement costs.
• Vibrations at speed, poor handling, or a noticeable decline in fuel economy also suggest an alignment check; certified dealership inspections identify root causes and protect warranty coverage.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Performing alignments at a certified dealership ensures that any warranty repairs remain valid and that adjustments follow manufacturer specifications for long‑term savings.
