Wheel Alignment FAQ

Dodge vehicles from Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM are certainly built to perform. However, even the best vehicles will accumulate wear and tear over time. That’s why routine maintenance, including a Dodge alignment, is crucial to keep your vehicle in peak condition.  

Q: How often do I need a wheel alignment?  

A: A wheel alignment consists of adjusting your vehicle’s suspension and ensuring your wheels hit the road at the ideal angle. This is a necessary part of your routine auto maintenance.

Alignments can help improve your vehicle’s handling and increase the lifespan of your tires. It’s best to check your owner’s manual or our trained technicians to determine how often you need one.
