PS, Fuel Injection service cleaning is another example like wheel alignments that is not a required maintenance item. Check your car manufacturer's scheduled maintenance items and you typically won't see them listed. You might actually be worse off having your car aligned or fuel injectors cleaned if the technician's training or equipment ends up misaligning or damaging your car. These are both money-making services the repair shops like to perform because many times they may not be needed and it just makes you "feel good" that you took good care of your car.
I don't know if it is necessary, but if you ask, they will more than likely do it for free.

Yes, all tires are different and each one needs to be balanced and aligned to your car. Most places make alignments part of the new tire service. Although not necessary, it is better for your tires and your mileage.Volvo XC90 driven under 5,000 miles/year oil question?

If you would like to protect your investment for warranty purposes, it is BEST to get an alignment. If you do not get an alignment and you have other front end problems your tires will develop a wear pattern (that cannot be changed). The front end alignment procedure will detect front end problems (bad tie rod ends, link pins, bushings, ball joints etc). Also, for best tire tread wear you should have your tires rotated every other oil change. Check for proper tire pressure on a REGULAR basis.Absolutely! If you are investing hundreds of dollars into new tires you will want them to last as long as possible. It's not required though, but you may find that the tires will wear the tread and lesson the life of the tire if you don't get the alingmnet. Balancing and aligning tires should even make the vehicle drive better at higher speeds.

The cd player in my 2002 honda civic coupe skips anytime i enter a bump. How do i resolve this.?
If your old tires are wearing even then I'd say no. But tires cost a lot of money and you want to protect your investment. I have a vehicle with 182,000 miles on it and only aligned one time due to an accident. Most of the miles are highway miles and I'm sure if more were on rough roads them an alignment more often would be necessary. To answer your question, it wouldn't hurt.Replacing spark plugs. No owner's manual. What should the gap be?

I am rebuilding an 84 Chevy 350 4 bolt main and had a few questions....?
Wheel alignment can change just through the normal wear and tear of driving - it does not require an accident, worn out parts or any of that. About 2/3 of the vehicles whose alignment we check in my shop have an alignment that is out of factory spec - so much for the idea that some cars never need an alignment in their lifetime!
When is the level 2 service needed on a 1998 BMW 540i?
An out-of-spec alignment can cause premature and uneven tire wear. Not a good thing of you just plopped down 5, 6 or $700 on a new set of hoops. A bad alignment can also impact gas mileage as it takes more effort for the car to roll down the road if things are not lined up correctly. Since the tolerance on most modern cars is often as little as a tenth of a degree, a bad alignment is not necessarily something you are going to be able to see or feel. Most cars that have an out-of-spec alignment do not pull for example.
