When manufacturers actually call for it
No maker schedule opened here lists wheel alignment at a mileage. It is done when there is a symptom (pulling, an off-center steering wheel, uneven tire wear) or after tire, suspension or steering work.
- 2023 Toyota Camry / Camry AWD: Not in the maintenance schedule; alignment appears only in the warranty, which covers it for 12 months or 12,000 miles. Maker's schedule
- 2021 Nissan Rogue: Not listed: the tire component page gives rotation intervals only. Maker's schedule
- 2024 Subaru All 2024 models (warranty and maintenance booklet): Wheel alignment appears under the recommended safety inspection checklist, not as a scheduled replacement or service interval. Maker's schedule

National ranges; a dealer usually sits at the top. A quote a little over the range is normal. Well over it is worth a question.
What to ask at the counter
- “Can I see the before readings, and which ones are out of specification?”
- “What symptom or tire wear pattern made you recommend it?”
- “If I get the alignment, will you give me the after readings too?”

Frequently asked questions
- How often do you need a wheel alignment?
- There is no maker mileage for it in the schedules checked here. Get it checked when the car pulls, the steering wheel is off center, tires wear unevenly, or after new tires or suspension and steering repairs.
- Do I need an alignment with new tires?
- It is often checked then to protect the new tires, but if there are no symptoms Cars.com says an alignment probably is not needed.
