Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Generally every 12 months or every 12,000 miles as part of routine maintenance, but check sooner after impacts, suspension work, or new tires.
• Electric and all-wheel-drive vehicles like the 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge can experience quicker wear if alignment is neglected, so earlier checks save long-term cost.
• Regular alignments extend tire life, preserve handling and maximize electric range—reducing total cost of ownership.
• Repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and correct OEM settings.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Most four-wheel alignments at Park Place Volvo take about 60–90 minutes for inspection, measurement, adjustment, and a road test.

• Our calibrated alignment racks and factory procedures ensure precise results the first time, minimizing repeat visits and downtime.
